12 bolt or 9 Inch ok so i know i need a new since the stock 10 bolt is junk. im thinking just a d1sc, and a full exasut so would i be good with a 12 bolt or should i step it up to a 9 inch?
depends what kind of racing your doing...look around and youll see what people are running theres some sick cars on stock rears and then theyre other with 12 bolts just look around and see what you want...let me know some numbers and how your car turns out with the d1sc...
you would have to continually beat the 12 bolt with 600+ rwhp on a good tire before i would really worry about it. 12 bolts are lighter so and have less parasitic loss... if the 12 bolt can handle it, why accept the downsides of the 9 in?
thats how i made my choice.

We got a guy in our local club that has had a 9" & a 12-bolt in a car with rears being the only difference mod wise & ran the exact same times. So the little extra loss isn't really gonna matter unless your the type that tries to shave every little tenth of their E.T. every weekend or run.
