Is it possible to have a Ford 9-inch without an annoying amount of gear whine? Of course, but at what cost?

Complete with forged alloy steel carrier bearing caps, high-strength nodular case, safety wired ARP hardware, 1350 forged steel pinion yoke, and a 31-spline Eaton Truetrac differential, it's built to handle some serious power and deliver it quietly and more efficiently than any 9-inch. *The FN988 Case is compatible with all 8.8-inch gears, differentials, and spools.
