I am one of the few that don't think a 7.5 is as bad as it's rep.
A FRESH , set up tight, 7.5 with good parts ( axles, posi and preload type cover) hold up fine in the street car.
I am guessing street car type suspension also? If so and you are running true street tires you will lose traction way before you stress the rear. Elco's are nose heavy to boot.
Even for your 2 times a year at the strip you should be fine. Just make sure the rear is preloaded.
Yes, the money would be better spent on a 8.5 but you are not building a race car, right?
A 9" is overkill fro your goals.
