Pros
-Modular design
-Gear ratios galore
-Cheaper parts and waaaaaaay more plentiful
-Easier to setup gears
-Just as strong
-Cheaper overall
-Ability to have one (or multiple) spare center section/gear assys ready to drop-in (different ratios etc..). Have one setup with a spool, the other with a diff etc....
Cons
-Heavy
-Slightly more drivetrain loss
-No 4 channel ABS (that I know of anyway)
That's just off the top of my head.....
If you go with a 9", order the housing/axle package from Moser, then have a local shop setup the center chunk/gear assy. You'll save alot of grief and money doing it that way.

Pros
-Modular design - True
-Gear ratios galore - VERY True. This is the biggest problem with the Dana.
-Cheaper parts and waaaaaaay more plentiful - Not necessarly true.
-Easier to setup gears - Not true, they are the same.
-Just as strong - Not true, The Dana has a larger ring gear by .750 and a larger pinion by .310 (1.626 vs 1.316) + you have to add bracing to the 9" housing for strength until you get to the fabricated housings.
-Cheaper overall - Not true. Mark Williams lists assemblies as Dana 60 - $2741, 9" $2985, 12 bolt $2925
-Ability to have one (or multiple) spare center section/gear assys ready to drop-in (different ratios etc..). Have one setup with a spool, the other with a diff etc.... - True

we will see what happens i ll prob just go with the s60 because it seems like everyone else is getting the 9 inch lol.... and dont worry blanco i have another deployment coming up more mod hehe....
Evan, the 60 is even heavier than the 9" and even though they make the argument that it's more efficient because the pinion is higher up on the ring gear, it still eats more power. The 9" will be more rear than you will ever need and is a proven piece. The Strange unit is built with subpar materials and has been proven to not hold the abuse like it should.

LMAO! a DANA 60 is by far superior to a 9" in various ways. The strange unit is a little different but still has advantages. If I was to do mine over again it would get the d60 put in instead of the 9" (I still have a narrowed d60 .. Hmmmm)
Anyway some things that are missed in your comparison
1)9" 35 spline your only option is a locker or a spool
D60 you can run a posi at 35 spline
2)Axle tubes are thicker on d60 (unless your doing a fabricated housing 9")
3)Weight with a nodualr center section 9" compared to d60 is almost even
Becuase of the better entry angle of the pinion in the D60 it will take more abuse with a "street gear" then a 9"
I don't care what you buy but in a stick car I would DEFINATELY consider a d60. The housing and axle package that Moser and some others sell is a stock type housing with a back brace not a modular housing(although you can get them now I think) A "modular housing" is defined as being like a Fab9(which is what I have in my car). If you don't know what a fab9 is try Google or your favorite search engine.
