9 inch vs Dana 60

So I had my pinion gear go out last weekend at Camarofest and am now faced with the dilemma of what to upgrade to. I've heard pros and cons of going to a 9" setup, but haven't really heard anything bad about the new Dana 60 setup. Anyone with any experience with either? Thanks in advance for any info you guys (and girls) can give as I'm trying to make a decision in the next day or two.

We installed and tested the first Strange S-60 at our shop and have sold a few since. It's a great rear but my favorite is the 9".
The gears are cheaper for the 9" and you have a bunch of ratio options if you ever decide to change down the road.
The 9" has considerable more aftermarket support then the S-60 and parts for the 9" can be found at any parts store.
Wit that said we have had excellent results with the Dana and our 9". Both the Dana and 9" pumpkin come from Strange Engineering so either way you go your getting a great piece of hardware.
Give me a call or email if you have any questions.

Thanks
Chris

Here is a link to the first S-60 we installed.
