You have some pretty good mods already.. what are you wanting to do with it?

As always a 12 bolt or a 9 would be a good upgrade.
You could run DR's w/out worrying about grenading the rearend

And my fav mod.. a bottle.

I want to hit that 500hp mark. What do you think is better. LS6 intake with 80mm tb or fast 90/90. Its going to be a weekend driver. Track on friday nights.

its amazing you havn't broke your rear end at that power level already. Maybe because it's a stalled Auto. But yeah I would do that next.

Thanks, Im going to look into this rearend. I guess its better to replace it now instead of paying for the tow bill when it breaks. Thanks agian for you time.
