12 bolt and 10 bolt well 10 bolt is a 7.5 in rear and a 12 bolt is a 8.5 in rear, the 10 bolt is ok but since it is smaller it doesn't handle a lot of torque being transfered from the pinion gear to the ring gear.

12 bolt should be good for a 9-10 second car, essentially the difference is size and amount of bolts to hold the ring gear to the carrier.

10 bolt= good auto X rear end, bad drag racing rear end due to too much ring gear play.

12 bolt= mass teh sex for drag racing. Most people put a 9in rear in their car because they want that super duper rear end, I will never see enough power to break my 12 bolt and it is an original gm product whereas the 9in was a ford design.
