A Dana 60 is actually a pretty efficient rear due to the ring & pinion orientation. 12 bolt is the best and 9" the worst. There was a magazine article about it years ago. I've heard of some racers switch between the Dana 60 and 8 3/4", adjusting the overall weight, and didn't see any ET difference worth mentioning.
I remember reading that Rick Johnson ran, and may still run a 9 1/4 Mopar axle in his SS/AA Barracuda.
