I run DANA 60 rears in my serious cars simply because having a nearly bulletproof rear diff is far more important than a couple hp or a few extra pounds of weight, I seldom have problems getting a car too perform reasonably well but the idea of loss of an AXLE or wheel under hard accelleration BOTHERS ME!
Ive been looking into the 14 bolt chevy rears recently with thier 10.5" ring gears and easy set up, and very low cost, you might want to keep in mind that almost ANY REAR DIFF set up correctly with the correct hardened parts like axles and posi units or lockers spools ETC,will cost about $1200-$2200 depending on parts sellected so you may as well get something you install that won,t break the first few times you launch with 500-800ft lbs of tq at 2500-5000rpm with huge slicks, on a street car the spinning tires act like a fuse on the shock loads but on a serious race car you need dependability, large disc brakes and massive parts that are easy to obtain.
you might also keep in mind you CAN have a DANA 60 or CHEVY 14 bolt center scetion with a chevy bolt pattern on ford outer bearings with a chevy bolt circle and ford brakes ETC. ITS ALL custom built, you get to be creative and have options on a race car
