Default Call me crazy, but......

I am considering building another 10 bolt in my garage. I am chasing a certain spot on the SI best ET list, so I need every HP, and weight reduction I can manage. So far, my current org. 10 bolt has been serving me well: Motive 4.10s, TA cover, stock axles/posi, and the THICK fluid w/ lots of additive.

I figured I can find one somewhat local for $200, and rebuild it as much as possible. (for back up in case )

My question is.....does anyone make 4.30s for the 10 bolt?

Thank you.

how thick is your fluid? and does it really help on longevity of the 10 bolt if you add really thick stuff?

No.. on the 4.30's HP and weight reduction should never eclipse reliability
