Default New rear end soon - What kind of studs to get?

I'm getting a new rear end (haven't decided which yet), but I have no idea what kind of studs to get. I want to be able to put my stock chrome 10 spokes on for cruising the streets and do slicks and skinnys at the track. Right now the car is making around 400 flywheel hp, but it is a built low compression motor that is waiting on a HS turbo kit that has 1000+ hp potential. I want to do the rear end once and do it right, so what should I get for studs? Thanks.

At minimum if since you plan to drag it go with 3" long 1/2 studs. You'll need to get some open end lug nuts for your stock wheels. I got mine from a guy on ebay called 'the lug nut king', fast shipping and great price.

You should give Carl at CRP a call on the rear end choice. If you intend to drag race with 1000hp that's spool territory.The Strange S60 is really nice.

I really don't want to cruise the streets with a spool, but a locker or a wavetrac are the only other options...

Do some research on the T56 with a Detroit Locker, not a good combo. The play in the locker messes with the synchros in the T56 and makes for bad shifting.

Going auto before locker if I do that.

Hi Joe,

There are quite a few options available with the S60 that are no additional cost. Choosing the best options for a particular application is something I enjoy helping customers with.

Please give Me a call, I will provide all the time necessary to match Your car with the proper combination for the rear end.

Thank You,
Carl
