Default Any one build a 10 bolt with success???

Anyone build a 10 bolt, such as Eaton posi, bigger axles, etc? I know there are inherent weaknesses with a 7.625 10 bolt, but with an automatic car, I think it may work. Just don't want to spend $2500 on something that saps power and weighs more.

I look at it from the other end, I wouldn't want to spend good money on a rear that will fail even in an auto. It will find the weakest link & that is the size/set-up of the ring & pinion.
The gear sets & bearings are goverened by this & is what makes them inherently weak due to size & space limitations.
It is just not suited for our cars IMO.
