Is that duration at *50 if so thats one big ****** cam, the 10 bolt should hold up to the dyno people do it to up there #s. As far as street wise dig runs/sticky tires NO if so not for long, yhe t56 is iffy got a few buddies runnin bone stock t56 between 480-550 rwhp there still living surprisingly. Im doing the same except different topend all pro heads ported 92/92 custom cam im going with a MWC fab 9 and tick stage 3 either way goodluck and post vids

with my build i had about 3 weekends of highway pulls and i broke shift keys into 3rd gear and a whining rear.
the 10 bolt wouldnt be too much of a problem if you were auto because the shifting wouldnt shock the rear quite as much as a manual clutch drop into gears when racing, as for launching,.. i would def not recommend it. in my experience, most 10 bolts wont hold 550 very long, but sometimes you get a factory freak that will handle some hard launches.. but just listen for the screaming baby in your back seat on the highway and you know its time to dish out some money.
my tranny is at RPMtransmissions for a stage 5 build thats good for 800+, and a well spent 12 bolt will hold, otherwise only 9" i will trust is a Midwest Chassis built, 1 rear from them has been in 4 different builds between 500 and 900 hp and launched at 4500rpm with stickies and no problems.
hope any of that helps

284/300 is adv duration.
dur @ .050 is 235/251

I have fuzion zx tires, very hard and low traction so 10 bolt should last. I have the stock flywheel and spec stage3 clutch and can tell the pervious owner drove it hard and always missed 3rd. Pretty stiff shift from 2-3.
Just need the tranny and rearend to withstand the dyno tune and and sensable drive to get the motor broke in and to get some bills paid off before upgrading the t56 and to a 12bolt.

Anyone recommend a site or company to get 12bolt for good price

I don't see a problem with that stuff lasting for dyno tuning and mild street driving. T56 transmissions are pretty strong and can handle quite a bit of abuse but the stock 10-bolt is a different story. Put a set of sticky tires on the car and hit the track and I would expect that thing to break. We sell the 12-bolt and 9" rear ends from Moser and they will easily hold that kind of power. Take a look at our website and let us know if we can help you out at all!

all depends on the cam, if your running a factory gm cam then the factory 7.4 pushrods will be fine, with any aftermarket camshaft the pushrod length should be checked after the cam is in and heads bolted down
