I use a stock unit with 4.10 gears and a upgraded long shaft. I just bought a DTE brace for it!

Rodney @ RPM is another great option if your looking to do a fully built Diff with your gears of choice. Good luck!

you are looking at least 1500-3000 for a built diff. Even more if you want to go overboard. I just put my car in the shop and opted for the stage 3 with both hardened shafts just to be safe, and I'm only shooting for 550whp. With that much power in mind I would definately go with both hardened shafts! Good luck.

I was just going to suggest the DTE stg III. I have it and at the time I bought it was told it would handle my next round of upgrades. (Forged motor and F1 procharger looking for 700 rwhp conservatively) Good luck on the power and putting her to the ground.

I got it a couple years ago and I am sure prices went up but I believe in the high 2 grand neighborhood. I just know it wasn't cheap. I spent a lot because I wanted to do it one time. Buy good stuff that would handle the abuse rather then buy cheap stuff over and over and deal with the down time. JMO

I agree. RPM knows how to treat a customer better than the other Indiana guy as well.

Billet pinion support and both shafts are a must if you don't wan to have to do it again.
don't forget to buy a Brace, even with an auto you can still crack the case.

I went with a RPM differential and am very happy with it. Mine came with a differential cooler. It's built with all hardened parts and the newest Getrag Z06 Case. It's all brand new, not rebuilt.
