Default Well the auburn blew up today....

So i shifted at 6600 rpm's from first to second and my actually hooked on the street today. whole car sounded like it blew up, tore off the diff cover and found about 3 of the differential gears on the covers magnet along with tons of other shrapnel.......new rear end is out of the question, because this rear end is fine. but what differential should i go with. whats the best diff for the stock 10 bolt. thanks

I have seen stock torsens hold up well to abuse, but for the money the True-trac is the best replacement for the Auburn.

Look how similar our setup is. I just went to a 9 inch after 3 sets of gears and a blown Differential!

00'Z28-M6-Comp 228/230 Comp Cam/Forcefed High Performance heads/LT's/LS1Edit tune/lid/4.11's/SFC/tubular panhard w/ poly bush/Tubular LCA's/Stock TA!/Stock rear end!/Mickey T. E/T Streets 10.5 x 16(love em)
best e.t 12.44 @112.50 (before heads and cam)

Don't spend any more $ on the 10 bolt. You are way beyond the design limits already!
