ill add my .02 cents. theres a friend of mine that has an iroc-z, he's got a 10bolt and as yall may or should know it the same weak 10bolt thats in the 4th gens. his old set up was a 383 w/ a 300 pill. stock 10 bolt with 2.73s stock 16's with mt drag radials and a th350 with a 4000stall. ran 9.9's all day long and has not broken anything in the rear end. so to all the non believers it can be done.

hd alloy axles
ta cover
better gears
back cut the gears
new posi
check the axles for straightness
weld the axle tubes
can be done but will cost you some money.
the + side is the 10 bolt will eat less hp.
as long as you don't go wheel hopping the the thing you will
be ok

I say no. I just popped my DTE stg III last night at the track. Modest launch, nothing major, and a clean 1-2 shift. Went for 3rd and she was done. Pulled over to watch everything draining out. Can't wait to see the diff out of the car. Good luck.

Well I currently have a Moser 12 bolt and the car will not be seeing the track much longer so I am probably going to ditch it. Do you guys know if a built 10 bold, i.e. HD posi, Moser Axles, and a T/A cover will hold up to 800RWHP on the street? It wouldn't be from a dig, but generally just roll stuff, 30MPH type runs. What do you guys think?

there is nothing wrong about the moser rearends, as long as you dont launch them at 6,000 rpms, they will last forever, my neighbors 3.73, 33 spline posi 12 bolt is silent as the grave and hes puttin down 740 to the wheels. but he doesnt launch it at 5500, 6000 rpms.

I can trade my 10bolts for your 12bolts 
honestly, I'm on my 3rd rear end(and its gonna blow soon, I can tell) and its annoying to always destroy this rear end. And I dont like the idea of spending 4K on parts and not getting one pony more at the wheels. It will be the very last mod I'll do.

To OP, just route oil lines straight through the rear wheel wells so when you stomp on it, oil shoots all over your tires. That should keep the rear in one piece. Might hit a tree but the 10 bolt will be ok.

Ive broken 3 12 bolts so, seriously I would never dream of going to a 10 bolt. I love my 9" though, could not be happier silent as hell

hahah funny thread.
really, i don't think 10 bolts are as bad as they're made out to be. especially in an automatic. at that power level though, i don't think it would last very long. a friend of mine had his commit suicide just cruising on the highway, not even on the gas. 311rwhp and automatic.
