RE: ford 9 in.

Which 8" will "easily handle 500hp" and under what driving conditions? Superdavid on this board blew up his 8" with far less than 500hp. FWIW, I routinely killed the LSDs (factory and Auburn) in an 8.8" behind 400Â± hp.

IMHO the cost of building a "super 8" is similar to the cost of building a 9 so I would go with the 9 to have even better strength and more options (gears and differentials) for nearly the same price.
