Which Axle?

Bit of advice please, if you are going to produce in excess of 900HP what axle would you knowledgeable people recommend?

9" 8 3/4" or fabricated.

What's wrong with a Dana - other than being very heavy....

Simple answer Pete, I forgot to put it on the list

Whatever it is will need to be custom built to fit an altered chassis.

Geof Hauser is your axle specialist. Have a chat with him.

In my opinion, If you have the money fabricated 9", wins hands down.
8 3/4" I wouldn't even consider, even less so in a fabricated option

ARRC & Hauser would be good people to talk too.

What are majority running in the class you are thinking of running in.

Fab 9. No question

S&W are hard to beat.

Dana would be cheapest.

Most likely the heaviest too

There is a chrome moly 9" braced case advertised on Eurodragster at the moment

Quite right but you've got a look after the pennies, also the weight couldn't be in a better place.

Except it's unsprung weight

This is an easy one!

Dana!!! '9-3/4'!!!

Ford 9incher and 8-3/4 aint up to snuff.

Lose the weight somewhere else???
If weight is an issue, get a FAB 8-3/4

P500.
