I do not sell the 9" because in my opinion there is very little benefit to running it. It is definately NOT bulletproof as everyone seems to think. Most will not benefit from any of the pros that come with running one as opposed to the 12 or s60.
Also be forwarned, in my experience all of the aftermarket rear ends have a higher level of gear noise than the stock 10 bolt not a problem, just seems to be a quirk they have.

the bevy of cars that ive seen sporting a 9'' are well over double the hp as the OP's projected target range and their 9''s seem to be holding up fine. ive only heard of some of them having broken axles (small spline) or posi's/lockers, ive only known one person to say theyve totalled crapped out a 9''.
not saying you're wrong, or anyone is in this thread....just adding my two cents from what ive seen around.
