9" rear with 4.10s and some good sized M/Ts will make it faster from a dig than the H/C/I will so I say go for that.

Isn't there a pretty significant price difference between H/C/C and a 9"?

You always should build the car from the back to the front. Motor being last. So many people do it backwards.

A rearend wont blow up your engine, but a H/C/I package will definitely blow up your rear.

No matter how much power you make,it's pointless if your 10 bolt takes a dump huh!

Just do the rear, I was in the same position as you and i decided to go with a Moser 12 Bolt with all the goodies. What's the fun of having all the power if you cant put it down and enjoy it. I did the rear with nice gears and the cars a whole different animal. Now i can enjoy it with sticky tires and not have to worry about the BS 10 bolt. Just my 2 cents.

Head/Cam/Intake because if you blow your clutch or 10-bolt you will be forced to buy a new one if you want to keep driving.
