Default Baker Hi Torque or S and S?

Pros and cons of each. Better to get rid of the race with the Baker, or go with the S and S set up which keeps the race from moving in?

I've been using a DD6 with no mainshaft race using the Baker Hi-Torque inner primary bearing. No problem with that part of the trans so far. I have no experience with the S&S trans and can't help you there.

My DD6 is on the way back to Baker, might want to wait and see what they do warranty wise to fix my problem. It should be there today or tomorrow. Thread on this started about a week and a half ago. If they take care of this then that says something about the warranty and customer service.
