Default girdle and stud kit?

ok so i was standing in line at the store yesterday, and i started looking at magazines. i picked up camaro performance (first time i've seen it) and saw an article about beefing up the stock rear end, with a girdle and stud kit i believe. is this worth it? can any one give me more info on this.

I've got the t/a kit and everthing works great. I also welded the tubes and change the crush sleeve to a soild sleeve. Those mods have made my 10 bolt hold up to ALOT of hard launchs, and i havent had a single prob. or whine.

I guy i know did the same mods and he was spraying out the hole on wrinkle walls for a hole race year before it broke, those runs where in the 10.s

It means welding the axle tubes at the center section, this is another point of failure for 10 bolts, especially when everything else is beefed up i.e. stud kit and support type cover.
