I have a Squarebody crew-cab dually that takes corners like a 1/2 ton truck (lowered; -.5 Camber; 6.9/7.4 Caster; RedHead steering box; 4-bar rear set-up w/Spohn spherical joints) so I do appreciate 'spirited' drives regardless of the vehicle I'm piloting.
Several have suggested the 12.7 boxes because some Monte SS's, 442's, & GN's used them from GM but that was with OE suspension set-ups & specs. I figure my non-stock specs & parts combo might benefit from the 10:1 but don't have much experience w/them.

Sounds like you sold yourself on 10:1 despite other peoples suggestions? Lol.
You won't benefit from a 10:1 is what I'm getting at. Despite your modifications. Autocross / tight turns are where you benefit from a 10:1 most. Street driving you may appreciate a 12.7 more since it'll be less twitchy / easier to recover.
