Most of the heavy hitters that are running deep into the nines and faster are using the nine inch. Bob

Yes. And it's not only an implication. It's proven.

That's silly. With a 9" (if you're not too cheap), you can get a cheap stock cast center section and build it with your street gears (273 or whatever you want) for good gas mileage, then have a strong strip hogshead as well with your strip gears. Best of both worlds.

Will be adding my 9" soon ,just for the added peace of mind. I just sold my Moser 12 bolt and it was holding up just fine...my buddy has it now. I plan on seeing much more track time this year along with more mods to justify the change.
