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.
Wrong. I research stuff before making decisions though. The only thing I "sold myself" on was asking 'why?'.

The guys saying they run the 12.7 boxes are also running stock a-arms, stock alignment specs, stock spindle geometry, & using a GM spec'd box. That might be the 'go to' for a MCSS/442/GN for the coding but that coding doesn't mean much on a '78 Malibu that was never intended to be more than A-B transportation.

Since going through the aftermarket, the 10:1 is also available. I figured asking others w/performance/handling experience for insight would be the right move.
The statement in RED was info that makes sense. Thanks.
