Well thats what I'm talking about. Most guys on this forum are not going to see track time therefor a 9 inch is a waste of money. An 8 inch done up the right way will handle up to 400 HP with no problem at all. If you're going to pound the **** out of it on the track, time to go to a 9 inch.

I agree with Soaring and I've broken enough eight inch rears over the years to say that there is huge difference between eight and nine inch rears. Even a warmed over 289 or 302 will break an eight with slicks, bars and a standard transmission. The street is a different story, an eight will usually hold up pretty well even with a big motor due to the limited traction available.

Yes, for someone that is NOT going to take it to the track and pound the **** out if it, it a waste of money. Also, if you're going to go with an 8 inch, you should use on out of a 67 and up. They had the heavy duty pumpkin with the added ribs, that's what I have in my 66.

A waste of money on a 9 incher? That has to be the first time I have heard someone say it is a waste of money to put in a 9 inch rear.
