Just curious on the reliability of a 12 Bolt chevy in a heavy car like SS/EA or similar weights running 9.50's to 9.0's. I bought a mopar with a 12 bolt that has good parts that ran in EA. The car is now getting a B1 Motor with about 850hp. I am wondering if the 12 bolt will be an issue. I'm guessing that the car without any weight bars will weigh AT LEAST 3500# with me in it.

I know some of you SS guys use the 12 bolt over the Dana or 9in to save weight & parasitic loss.

Looking for some input.

Thanks
