Default Re-building rear end

I know the 10 bolt in our cars cannot take much, however I am going with a new wet nitrous set-up and wanted to revamp my rear end. I will not be spraying at the launch, however I am upping the gear from a 3.23 to a 3.90 final drive. I'm looking to use Motive gears as well as their "Super Kit 683-R7.5GRSKT" with new bearings etc. I was told that I would obviously spin the holy heck out of street tires, but I just purchased mickey 255/50/16 e/t streets to stop that. Would you guys recommend Motive and their re-build kits? The car only has a 2500 stall, full bolt ons and a few other goodies but nothing crazy. I know it wont be bullet-proof, but being a college student I cant afford to drop a couple grand on a 9' rear end. Thoughts?

I have set up hundreds of Dana 60's with motive gears with their install kits and never had any problems. G
