NEGATIVE...built CORRECTLY the 8 3/4 will hold up to some serious power more then a few 9 second cars using them..as for the "bullet proof" dana 60 seen more then a few "grenade" at the track..
I get it. But the cost is the same so why bother with the 8.75? I'm going to ditch my 8.75 and do a Dana. It makes no sense to build an 8.75 when you have nothing to start with.
