Gunner---I am probably the last person you want to preach weight and strength issues to on performance or race vehicles---The only draw back to the Ford 9 inch is it takes a little more power to turn because the pinion is low on the ring gear( of course the 8 and 8.8 are low also)

Generally when you see a car being towed off the track because of a broken rear, it is something other than a Ford 9!!!

And as for your referance to 100 lbs------totally out to lunch and if you are weight concerned the Ford 9 has more light weight components to use than any other rear out there--
