whats the better rearend to use??? i have an 87 z28 that im putting an lt1 and t56 in. i plan to get close to 500rwhp out of this combo. my question is i bought the whole rearend when i bought the lt1. they came out of a 95 firebird formula. is it worth it to also swith the rearend thats in the car stock for the 1 out of the firebird? i do plan to get better gears regardless. i also plan to switch to rear disc brakes too, and want to get better than stock brakes. i am goin to be puttin some z06 18x9.5 rims on the car. which rearend would u recommend using and what upgrades other than the gears should i perform? thanks for any info!!!

4th gen rearends are wider than 3rd gen. You'd probably have problems with the wheels/tires sticking out way too far and smacking your fenders. I'd just stick with the stock 87 rear until I could buy a 9 inch or something.

wouldnt it work out if since i have z06 rims, which are meant for 93 and up camaros? i guess im askin more of which one would be stonger? what kind of rearends are they? how much work would it be to make either one of them strong enough for [B]close to 500 rwhp? thanks again for any replies!!!
