the whole thing about the s60's is is they are as strong as a 9" with the weight of a 12 bolt. also he mentioned the driveshaft he uses is good for 1000hp and he uses one and puts a 300 shot on it.

You sure they are as light as a 12 bolt? The dana 60 is physically bigger than a 9 inch.

Have they increased the gear choices?
Is 3.50 still the lowest numerical gear choice?
