i would go to church first...your gonna need a prayer and a miracle for that rear to hold that kind of power outta the hole....from past experiences with a 10-bolt i would say ur days are numbered

4:10's to match the cam and tire size.

12-bolt rear so you don't spray gears and lube all over the starting line.

Its all a matter or preference really. I have 4.10s in mine, and I love them, but you are not going to get the top end obviously. You would really dig the low end power, but don't think you are going to beat someone when its gets up into the 100's, lol.

70mph= 2000rpm

Auto = 3.73

M6 = 3.73 or 4.10

I'd go 4.10 but in a 7.5" 10 bolt, you are gonna have to do a little deburring of the gear-set to get it to live more than 6 months with the noted mods.
