I put a cover on mine as soon as I got it and then went to the drag strip. Great idea and hopefully will hold the 10 bolt together a little longer. Also get someone with proper tools and knowledge to install gear set.
Shameless plug... I have a trick flow diff cover for sale in the classifieds. bought a spare rear and it had one on it $85 shipped!!

The #1 thing you can buy to save the rear end is tires
that suck.
You might want to consider better axles since you're
going to put more torque to them and they're kind of
dainty. Doing them after they break is going to cost you
more.
I went whole hog on mine and so far, so good. But I do
not have as high a ratio and the tires let go well before
half pedal, not like a perfectly set up drag car.
