Default 94,000 miles rearend is toast, auburn or eaton replacement

I have a 2001 z28 m6 with 94,xxx miles makeing 360 rwhp.

after 94,xxx miles of hard driveing and racing the rearend is starting to go.
Since I am building the engine up more I know I should switch to either a 12bolt or even better a 9" rearend.

Because of money I cant do that right now, so what is the best/strongest replacement carrier? should I go with an auburn, eaton or what for my factory 10bolt?!?!


thanks guys!

wow, no one has a recommendation of the best posi/LSD to buy for a 10bolt?


I'm surprised!

Well, I replaced my Zexel-Torson with a HD Eaton posi and GM factory 3:73's. It cost like $460 for the posi, but, I have just completely finished wearing out a set of MT ET Street Drag radials .... they were bald, so, I had to get new tires. Yank SS3600, FLP 4L65E racelevel 5 tranny, forged motor with AFR heads/port matched 224/228 Mamo cam specs and other stuff. Dawged the **** out of it everytime I pulled out for 2,000 solid miles and it hasn't faultered a bit. Rearend is quiet as can be. I don't think you'll find a stouter posi unit and it's totally rebuildable. Probably some out there that are as tough, though ... just don't know of any ... maybe Detroit or some racing posi.

Get a standerd Torsen. Like $100 I believe. If you spend like $400 on an Auburn thats $300 you could have saved for a 12 bolt.
