trashed my rear-end, desperate need of help So I had my rear-end rebuilt after I had a pinion seal leak. This was about January time-frame. It's now April and I had to put the Camaro back in the shop due to new problems in the rear. I found out that i sheared the ring bolts and they caused two teeth on the ring gear to get trashed. So now i'm stuck on what to do: Do i re-build this rear-end again? Should i put a full spool on it? Or do i just buy a new (or junkyard) rear-end to put on there?
I plan on putting the car up to 450-500 horses, and it's gonna be pretty much a street car that i'll run on a slim occasion. What should I do? What are your suggestions?

Putting money into a ten bolt is like buying lapdances. Very short lived, unfulfilling, and something learned when your new.
They break regularly with stock power on the street with sticky radials so upgrade to something if you want to enjoy the car for longer than a week or so

lol possibly like buying lapdances from a fat girl cause your terrified the whole time...but really the ten bolt sucks dont rebuild it if youre keeping it i would just buy a used one from someone cause they cost more to get rebuilt than they do used and its just gonna break in a day and a half anyway

junkyard 10 bolt for under 400rwhp and no slicks or midwest 9", don't spend $1000 on the rear to have it break again.
Although if you want a brand new detroit trutrac locker for 3.23s and up, 28 spline stock axles, and a very nice install/bearing kit. I have one from when I wouldn't listen to the other more experienced members and bought the parts to do it.

If you don't have the money for an aftermarket rear, try to find a stock 3.42 rear ($150 or so depending on your location), install an aftermarket support cover($150 or so), and have your axel tubes welded to the pumpkin (price varies).
This will be fine for a 400-450rwhp car that rarely sees the track
