rear end help
Im building a daily driver around 530ish horsepower at the crank I want as much as that to the wheels as possible... I was thinking of a gm corp 10 bolt because I know u can build them super strong or a for 9" but guts wise its so many options im lost where to start

A4 or M6 trans? There is no corporate 10 bolt from Gm that will bolt into your car due to the torque arm mount.
A 9" ford style rearend will always be a good choice, but can get costly. You may also consider a S60 or 12 bolt rear from Strange that is full aftermarket and designed to be a direct bolt-in.

Ok then... How did they mount a torque arm to a G-body rearend that uses triangulated 4-link suspension?
A set of 31 spline axles and a clutch type posi or a Truetrac diff unit will be good choices for the power you expect to make and the 4L80 trans combo in a street driven car.
