9 inch rear end?? If i put the 9 inch 10 bolt rear end in from http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=145
(Moser 9 Inch Rearend with Truetrac Limited Slip or Locker option)
will it last and is it a good idea to put in. I have a 95 z28 with about 335 hp and I'm going to put 315/35/17 in the rear. Ill be running 4:11's also with 31 spline. the price is about $2700
Am i on the right track here, any info or tips would be appreciated.

The 4.11 gears are a great way to go for your horsepower level. I would go with the Truetrac with 31 spline axles, and I would add the lower control arm relocation bracket option. Installing your lower control arms in the lowest hole will normally give the car a lot more traction. Bob

I went with the locker because I'll be racing a lot and it was a cheap upgrade. After some reading, some peoples TrueTracs have lasted a long time and others didn't. So I didn't want to take a chance.
The Truetrac is what I would go with for a daily driven street car that is under 600 hp. If you're planning on future high horsepower upgrades, then the locker and 35 spline axles are a cheap upgrade that will keep the rear from being limited in it's use. Bob

DETROIT TRUETRAC
* Smooth operation
* Performs open until needed
* Fully automatic limited slip
The Detroit Truetrac was the first helical gear differential ever introduced into the automotive aftermarket as an Eaton brand. It remains the leading helical gear-type limited slip differential in the industry. Detroit Truetrac's proven helical gear design eliminates the need for wearable parts, resulting in maintenance free traction. Recognized not only for its toughness but also it’s smooth and quiet operation.
Engineered to work efficiently in front and rear axles, semi-floating (C-clip axles) and transfer cases. Power transfer is so smooth, it literally goes unnoticed by the driver - even in front wheel drive axles.
Proven design, low cost and effective performance, all make the Detroit Truetrac limited slip differential the ideal choice for a wide variety of vehicle applications. No maintenance - Just Traction! Bob
I would go with a Truetrac with your power level or even almost double that like Bob said. I had a locker for the street and hated it and went to a Truetrac. Mine was used so maybe it was jacked up, I dunno. I think I would try a spool before another locker but that is just me.
There are tons of folks on here that have had trouble with 12 bolts. A 9 inch is superior but is not quite as efficient. If you're an auto you can get by with a 12 bolt but if you're an M6 a better choice is a 9 inch. You are on the right track!
