Picking a Rear End

I race a 4speed now 5speed fox body when I had a 8.8 it broke at axle tube to center section my suggestion sell 8.8 and put money towards 9 inch stronger more gear selection. 8.8 had welded tubes and bracing with stock type suspension was trying to prevent it from breaking. 8.8 with auto ok, stick and sticky tires not so good will work for awhile. But when i ran a 8.8 in the 1/8 ran a 5.14 with 3.08 1st gear jerico best i can remember went through light at about 6-6500 shifting about same rpm. 28x10.5 tire
