8.75 durability for big block street/ Strip

Simple question then, ....why? To get rid of the locker in favor of the gear limited slip?
Main reason is gear selection. I came to the conclusion that I needed a 3.90 gear in the car and that ratio doesn't exist for the S60 at the moment. Plus I needed a wider housing for the new wheels and I wanted to switch to a different differential. So when I added it all up the only answer was a new 9 inch.
