Default Camaro ss 98 rear end swap to WS6

I bought a camaro ss 98 with no engine or transmission, and I want to swap the rear end to my Ws6, my trans am is a 2001 , has a v6 read end in there, lol, and yes I noticed when I bought it, so IM looking to get a spool, what do I have to look for to make sure I buy the right parts? And what gear ratio can I go with? Im gona do a 4l80 and twin turbo charge it soon so wondering if I can do a 4.1 to help the long first gear?

sticking to a factory gearset ratio is most common on turbo cars.

Is the rear you want to swap an aftermarket one? 10 bolt for 10bolt is still a weak *** 10 bolt, and with plans of a 4l80 and turbos you're going to want a better option back there.

twin turbo, high stall, 4l80 trans brake = good bye 10 bolt, why wait for the inevitable, just get a 9 inch now.
