You plan on making this a race only car? Cuz anything over 4.10 on the street, ESPECIALLY if it is your daily driver, is gonna be hard on the gas gauge, your wallet and the drivetrain IMHO. ESPECIALLY 4.56 gears.
Just my $.02 Most guys I know run either 3.73, 3.90 or 4.10 max on the street.
Also, if your car is a manual trans, I would (and several other here would prolly agree) stay away from the 12 bolt. Great rear end for an auto car, but many M6 cars are killing those rear ends. The recommendation is a 9 inch or a Dana 60 for M6 guys like me.

i hear what you are saying and all but alot of guys break stuff because they either drive like ******** all the time or they go to the track all the time. i drove my car as my dd with a t-rex cam and 4.10s and i am sure i can handle 4.56s. the car is a 6sp and i maybe go to the track 3-4 times a year. btw i still have the stock rear with 4.10s that make no noise and have seen many passes on drs and slicks. the only reason i even want to upgrade is cause i think i am going to start going to the track alot more and dont want o worry about it

not trying to rain on your parade but sure disaster waiting to happen maybe something to worry about yes is it going to explode everytime i drop the hammer no. i have seen my fair share or 10 bolts explode and i have seen plenty survive many years such as my own. if it is a car that is just drivin maybe some fun from a roll sometimes and then launched hard 5-8 times a year im sorry but it will last. hence why i want a new one now cause i know i am going to go to the track more often. http://www.f-body.org/gears/ now well im not sure how fast you go on the freeway but 1900 at 64 2200 at 74 would be driveable as far as i am concerned especially since you dont really want to drive a t-rex sized cam under 2k much. so back on topic anvone have a rearend yet they want to get rid of. and i really cant believe there are no local vendors that would want to sell one

Again, good luck and enjoy the hell out of whatever you do with it. That is why we come here.

sorry if i jumped into you some just alot of people act like starting a car will break a rear end and same goes for large cams hell i was on of the first to have the g5x3 cam almost 3 years ago and at the time all i heard was how it couldnt be done and how outrageous it was blah blah. anyhow nick w and i did it he tuned it and i drove it everyday. so yea i guess it all comes down to what the person driving it feels like dealing with. btw why bother rebuilding your rear end when you can buy my magic one once i get something beefy. on topic i still need a new rear if anyone has one for sale so i can start going to the track alot and not worrying about it

As for why bother rebuilding mine? Cuz it was 1st done under warranty so they are gonna do it again for free while I decide what "real" rear end I want to put under my <cough cough> beast....9 inch or Dana 60. Besides, when I buy another one, it sure as hell will NOT be a 10 bolt. I don't care how magical it is.

i dont know i just think i see alot of people buying a new rear that never see anything but summer tires and guys will put in a 210 .550 cam with double roller chain ported oil pump etc.... i just think people go too far sometimes is all. they read one stry of something and they think theirs is now going to break tomorrow.

And in all honesty, even your "summer only drivers" upgrading their car's weak spots is not a bad thing if they have the money and want to. It is THEIR money and car, so who are we to come down on them for being proactive?
