Default 1000 hp street car, new to fbody?

I just sold my 820rwhp ysi 416 C6 vette and bought an fbody roller.

My goals are to make 1000rwhp and have decent street manners to drive around on the weekends, and go to the track and run low 9s

I have decent funds for the project around $5,000 for rear end and rear suspension

I need some schooling on diff, axels, spool ect.

The car came with a moser 12 bolt , but I have heard I need a 9in or S60
what are good combos

any help or advice is appriciated

I'd run that 12 bolt till it breaks. If youre definitely changing it out I like the Fab9 but the S60 will handle it as well. I've heard the S60 Tru trac is a stout unit but I'd go spool in a 9 inch & 31-35 spline.

I say sell the 12-bolt while you can get some money for it and use the money towards a 9" or S60.

I would consider either the S60 or our fab 9'' the only downside with the S60 is you are limited on gear ratios and it is heavy other than that it is a great rearend now to our fab 9'' it is only the true bolt in rearend on the market it comes with all the factory brake line clips and tabs for an easy install it also comes with a torque arm and cross member that you do not have to modify the underside of your car to make it fit.
