That's what drives me nuts about these new Coyote cars. I'm watching them go 8's and 9's regularly on stock transmissions and rear ends. Imagine what our cars would be capable of with budget builds if they came stock with 12 bolts and 4l80's?

For sure. Or as an added option, like part of the SS or WS6 packages. Give us something here instead of leaving us stuck with this glorified wishbone they packaged the car with.

^ Actually the Blazer Xtreme's also were available with a 8.5" on the standard s10 width with disc brakes and 3.42 gears
Curious to see the OP's venture into this as well. I have been debating on trying something similar starting with one of our bolt on mounts for our TAS systems for first and second gen f-bodies

I may have to look into the torque arm setup for my '80 Firebird that's getting a 6.0L 6speed.

I know I'd cry a little inside out of frustration, get it towed home, and the car would sit for some time until I could afford to fix it.
No tracks around here so I think I'm probably quite safe though, given this axle got this car to 12.x on a few occasions without complaining and I ain't putting it under that much stress with just street driving. One of the few better built 10 bolts I guess, others didn't fair so well.

I don't function well with broken parts. Mine started whining some so I immediately stuffed a FAB9 under the car. Did I need to? Probably not. Do I need 35 spline axles behind a currently stock ls1 on street tires? Doubful. Was it fiscally responsible? No. Does it look sweet when my car is on a lift? Hells yeah.
