Default 416 LS3 + stock rear end = fail

I just got done breaking in my new engine recently. I knew the stock rear wasnt going to last very long, but i figured id drive it untill it did break. Well it didnt take long at all to destroy the rear end. Now im in the market for a new rear. What would you guys suggest? its a 416ci LS3 that i expect to see around 530 rwhp out of. and possibly spray a decent sized shot next summer, maybe a 150 or 200 shot. so i may be close to the 700 rwhp range on spray, and its an M6.
i was thinking of getting a moser M9 or similar. let me know what u guys think

Like BOB stated you want it fast go with a moser and spend more. If you have time like myself I order whole rear suspension setup for MWC and waited and pick it up from his shop with that guy penningta that posted. MWC gets my vote.

Mosers M9. Since you have a M6, do not get a locker. You have been warned.

I agree, the Moser M9 is a great way to go, and do not go with a locker. I would pay the extra and get the Wavetrac. Bob

I had the MWC 9" in my car before I sold it. Met up with Erik and did the transaction in person, great guy. If I was in the market for a beefed up rear end in the future, I would deffinantly go with that route again.

When you add in all the extra options, you are saving a ALOT of money by going through Erik than going through a middle man that drop ships Moser/Strange rear ends.
