To upgrade or not to upgrade... Hey guys I am up in the air about this so I thought I would put it to a vote.
My rear (stock) needs to be fixed because she is making some noise, my guess is it needs gears.
My mechanic says he can build it up really nice for about $1,100. He says I shouldn't have any problem with my mods. (Built 10 bolt)
I also have buddy who is willing to swap his virgin 10 bolt (35k miles) for mine. Install for $400.
Last but not least I found a local swapper who can get my a really nice brand new 9 inch installed for $2,500. With tru track and 4.11s, the whole 9 yards.
Now my question is what would you do. My car is a street driven car only. No track, no drags, no nitros. May I also mention I still need wheels because a few of mine are bent as some of you might remember from my earlier thread. Which means I will be running bent wheels for awhile if I go 9 inch.

Thanks for the help, 9inch going in this week. I'm boltons/cam now. Hopefully stock internals for the 9 bolt will be ok.
Whats my 10 bolt worth?

Seems like a waste of money/power to put a 9" in a car that won't be drag racing at the track, especially if getting that 9" means you have to drive on bent wheels
If it were me, I would swap for the other 10 bolt (but do the labor yourself, $400 just to drop a rear and put it in another car is way too much IMO), replace the wheels, then later on if that 10 bolt starts to act up, switch over to a 12 bolt

Also I was able to get one for $2,100. $2,300 installed. Last edited by Sicko; Mar 18, 2009 at 01:30 PM.
