Which one is better? Great question. And the answer is: it depends. The 10 bolt is lighter and needs more power to turn. The 12 bolt is a heavy duty unit, much stronger, but is HP hungry and will suck your car more horses. Take a look at your aplication, and then decide wich one is for you. Usually, behind aBig Block Chevy, you´ll want to use the12 bolt axle.
