Roadracing / AutoX Read end options and ABS related questions ..........AUTOCROSSERS!

The roadrace / autocross forum is practically dead, so i posted this here.

I've broken my 10 bolt 4 times already with a stock engine. I have a little more than twice the power now, and so i cant race my car like i used to.

I need a 12 bolt or 9'' but have questions on both. All a search revealed was drag related question, which was mostly irrevlivant IMO

Which is better for track racing? Lighter?

What carrier is best?
I love the performance of the torsen in my 10 bolt right now (although im on my 3rd ) I had an auburn clutch type carrier and hated it. Never could hookup around high speed turns and locked up at only the wrong times.

Has anyone here had an axle built with camber? I know NASCAR and some of the few solid axle racers have them built that way, but haven't found anyone that actually build them like that. Im only talking -.5 degrees or so.

Aluminum. Worth the extra cost for weight? i guess it would be only a small percentage.

ABS. I have yet to find a 3 channel 9'' and 12 bolt are $700 more then 9'' and ABS is still an extra $150 on top of that.
A: can you rig a 3 channel ABS for a 9''. Seems easy to install a ring, but i dont know if there is enough room in the housing AND
B: How do you feel about racing without ABS? Little more tricky? I would assume its just a learned skill. I kinda just mash on the brakes until the first ABS click and back off.


Thanks guys, sorry about the spelling/typing errors
