Please do not attempt to "beef up" your 10 bolt, it is a complete waste of time and money. I "beefed up" 4 10 bolts before I saw the light and bought a real rear end. I could have bought at least 3 9" rears with the amount of money I threw away on 10 bolts.

If you're looking to make a purchase at the end of the year I "might" be pulling the 12 bolt out of my car and going with a narrowed 9 inch. Probably won't be until the end of the year by the time I get around to making that purchase, so when you're ready shoot me a PM and see where I'm at.
12 bolt, 3.73, spool, 33 sp. axles. No stock backing plates or reluctor rings on it, but you could pull that stuff off your 10 bolt and put it on, I used to have all that on this rear end before I put the spool and drag brakes on the car.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy

Seriously ... start saving for a 12bolt, 9" or S60.
Your goal is to replace it before you break it and oil the track down. (eating 20-40 min of everyone's time while they clean it up).
Then sell the used 10bolt to someone who doesn't want to listen.

I won't me ready to pull it until probably christmas time, when I am I'll shoot ya a PM.
My guess is that the guys that are looking now will already have something and it will be a whole new group looking for a rear LOL. 10 bolts don't last long once you start making power, or start trying to leave hard with a real tire.

Only thing saving him has been the auto (STILL on borrowed time, though 
). Definitely start saving for a better rear. I personally wouldn't go with a 12-bolt again unless you happen to find a good one that doesn't clunk or whine like just about every one I've seen; but they are out there, just not many of them.
