I would go with Motive's simply because IMO they work best with the GM carriers and housings. I've always heard that AAM is the maker of Motive Gears and that's actually what GM uses from the factory. In addition to the gear set if you want to do it right get a hold of a master install kit so you can replace your bearings, shims and bearing races. You will also need 2 quarts of gear oil as well as the limited slip additive if your using the Auburn Posi. Hope that helps ya!

yeah like connexion said a master install kit has all you need besides lube. most sponsors have them and it comes with bearings, shims, yoke nut, ring gear bolts, crush sleeve, loctite, and a brush with gear marking compound, oh and a new cover gasket and pinion seal.

Thunder Racings master kit is what I used back in 2002. I also did the solid pinion racer and TA cover.
