Weakness of stock rear end There is not way I can improve (get stronger) my factory (98) camaro rear end (center part the axles)? The only way is replace it by a moser or other brands? Them are too expensive. Any suggestions? If I use an old ford 9", what happens with the antilock and all the stock sensors?

You can be all the 98-lb body builder you want and
you're still going to get sat on in the WWF. That's
the deal.
You can improve it, sure. It's usually considered
poor economics if you're ***** out for power and
traction, but a street or cornering car can do OK
with a few pieces improved and enjoy the lighter
weight.
But put those rasslin' tights on and you -will- get
sat on....

The best mod that I ever did was the Billingsley 9". Allowed me to always put the power to the ground with out having to worry that I might break the rear. Don't just put a band-aid on a cut that you know is going to break open sooner or later.

I'd do it right, and put a 12 bolt or a 9" in it.
Lucky for me, my 81 has a 8.5" 10 bolt. It's quite a bit stronger than the 7.5" that GM put into the LT1/LS1 cars, but I'm getting axles, gears, posi, and having my tubes welded (by a shop....) so I shouldn't have to worry about it for a while. If/when I do break that, then I'll probably move up to a 9".
