I don't doubt the 12 bolt, in fact I'm using a 12 bolt (4.88s w/spool) in my drag buildup (hoping to run 10s!). I'm using a fab 9 in my street build for the simple reason that I want to run it at the track now and then, but I also want to do some cruise/power tour or something like that as well. I have already built the drag center section using 4.30s w/ spool and haven't got the $$ for the street center section yet haha. The only reason I was suggesting a 9" setup was because I liked the ease of simply swapping center sections as opposed to rebuilding the 12 bolt. I didn't mean to come off sounding like I thought one was stronger or 'better' than the other, just curious to see if it was considered. That's why I asked if he was moving the car to a dedicated track car or a street/strip machine. As long as he's getting rid of the 7.5 that it came with, I'd say that is a move in the right direction haha
ps i was real confused when i first read the thread being as how my name is Brandon too and I don't yet know everyones name being so new. haha
