8.25 vs. 8.75?

couple thoughts here if your just running street tires you will probably never break that 8.25 even thought the motor is large and has a huge power potential if it cant hook up there is not a lot of pounding especially with a 727 trans. the 8.75 rear is a brutally strong piece. is this rear(8.75) a a body rear if it is its a direct bolt in accept the drive shaft. then you have to deal with the small a body bolt pattern. you can buy axles to get the bigger pattern but then again if your not running slicks its not going to be a issue also the wheels you now have wont fit .witch brings me back to the 8.25,why change it if your not going to run slicks.even if you run slicks it would be hard to break the 8.25 in my opinion.back to the 8.75, to give a idea of how strong these rears are when rick hendrick started racing his shevys with geoff bodine driving and even when K shrader raced for him they used a chry 8.75 rear with only oiling mods rick said the ford type cost money to modify to get to the level of the chry rear. nascar made a rule that all manufactures must use a 9 inch ford type rear.(they claimed after modification they were safer ahhhhh ok).i agree with rumble here the pricing of the parts, the power loss on the 8.75 is very minimal
