10 bolt whine? So I noticed a whine coming from the rear end today. Only really audible at 70mph+ I figured it's an axle bearing, and I know when those go they start to eat away at other parts as well.
I'm planning a rebuild of my ls1 with a good h/c package, hoping for about 450-500rwhp.
I don't want to put money into the 10 bolt cause... well it's a 10 bolt. But at the same time, I'm on a budget. I don't plan on taking the car to the track more than maybe once or twice, just to see what she'll do, so I don't need some bullet-proof rear end that'll withstand 5k clutch dumps. I do however need something that'll keep the car drive-able, but strong enough to withstand those hard, red light launches.
Can anyone recommend me an option that's reasonable in price? Also recommend me a posi diff and gears (and perhaps a place to buy them? Sorry, I don't know anything about aftermarket rears)

Where are all of these people getting money for 500rwhp but not enough to cover supporting mods?
Watch the classifieds for a used 12-bolt, or find someone to fab a dirty cheap 8.8. Those are your cheapest, not necessarily your best options.

I had it factored in. I figured that I was living on borrowed time if I kept the 10 bolt, so I was planning on upgrading.
Really all I was looking for was an option that wasn't going to cost half as much as the engine build.
Fortunately, it looks like Quick Performance has a housing w/ axles for about 1k, and I can get an Eaton TruTrac with gears for about 900. Cheaper than anywhere else I've seen lol

Verdad Gallardo Yeah you'd need a new D/S as well. You can just put the new yoke on your stocker with the 9" options, but they aren't exactly the correct length, and then that is by far the weakest link. I run a 3" Dom steel PST shaft because it was more or less the cheapest option. You'd need to buy one regardless of the rear you choose though.
