car info is in the sig...

i have the stock 10 bolt but do NOT launch it, its only a street car....
my main question is if i get some 4 10's but something breaks in the 10 bolt on day (and isnt the ring or pinion) can i just swap my gears into my new rear end??
THANKS!!

Not if you do it right and get a 12 bolt. 10 bolt gears won't fit in the 12 bolt. Do NOT replace your 10 bolt with another 10 bolt. I did this and hate myself for it more and more every day...

i see i see, makes sense!
Thanks...so basically if i were to add 4 10's because they work well with the cam i am getting, they woudl not work with any other rear but the 10 bolt...got it thanks!

Yep you got it. What cam are you going to get? IMO I would go with 4.10s no matter what cam I ran if I had an M6.

If your not launching on the 10 bolt you should be fine. I beat on mine with 3.42s and now I have 4.10s and it's fine as well. Sure it's no where near the strength of a 12 bolt or 9 inch, but it will hold up to some street use.

I would go 12bolt or 9in and get it over with but since you dont drag it you might be ok . My 10 bolt took a crap today and im going the new rear route . It is just wasting your money to just keep patching 10bolts together with a 6 speed.

You'll be fine, make sure you don't have any wheel hop.

bust the 4.10's now and then just start saving up for your 12 bolt until your 10 bolt bites the dust

yeah see i am divided...dunno wether to just buy the 9" with the gears and call it a day...

or add some gears now that will assist the cam...and then save for the 9"...its extra $ thats the thing...i guess i coudl always sell the rear with the gears in it and get my $ back....i dont know

what woudl you all do in this position???

by the way the car is NOT the DD and sits a lot..so, saving isnt a big deal..and i have a nic credit line with 0% APR for a year hahah

thats is SO tempting!

4.10`s for a street car is the only way to go. like driving a totally different car. ive abused my 4.10s for a yr now on drag radials. alot of street, some strip launches(2500 rpm) have a spohn torque arm and t/a cover. not sure if thats saving my 10 bolt, but im sure it will die 1 day. for the price of gears, ill swap a set per yr over buying a 9"/12 bolt and have to worry about tearing a tranny or drive shaft up.

2500? man your car isnt even going to run ats its full potential if your only leaving the line at 2500 enless your an auto. But if your not installing the gears yourself it will cost at least 500 everytime you swap it out with someone else doing it . i just broke mine and wont even think about fixing it just wasting money and dening the fact your patching a 10bolt.
