For strength....look at a deroit locker. They are a "spool" in a straight line and still act as a differential in corners (but careful getting on it in a corner, the rear will move around in strange ways).

Just my thoughts.

I have an Eaton HD posi myself, and its starting to give out already. I've had it for a year and a half running much less power than you. Any posi is going to have breakable spider gears. I would also look into a Currie posi. I know of a few people running those with success.

didn't a certain year or model camaro come with a posi that doesn't have spider gears ( had smething like screws inplace of the spidergears - something about no clutches to wear out).
what kind are those and are they stronger?

i'm really starting to regret buying a moser rear end now.

The Eaton that comes in the Moser is a good unit. Eaton has a 1 year warranty on it. The clutch packs in the Eaton are supposed to be rebuildable.I'd look into a rebuild kit if you're sure the unit is going out and not a posi lube issue.

I would call Randy's Ring and Pinion first. Then, Tom's Differentials.
