the reason i say 12v is that imo i believe that it will hold up to what you are wanting to do and also will be easier to mod. but i also have little experiance with a 7.3.

i've heard from some who've had both that say go with 7.3 but i also don't have a whole lot of cash. the way i see it is i either pay now or pay later and i might end up paying more later with upgrades to the 7.3

From what lil I know it is easier to turn up a 12V but a 7.3 is just a reliable towin machine. a 7.3 would be more versatile because you could use a chip to turn it up for pullin at the track and then change it to a tow mode for pullin a trailer. but the 12V would be easier to build to be any type of competitive for truck pulls

so here's what i'm thinking. if i were to build it for straight pullin definitely a 12v but for street/pull possibly 7.3 for the change on the fly capabilities
