10 bolt rear end Hey all I'm running the stock 10 bolt and curious to know if the following would do me any good. As of right now I have the T/A cover and 3.73. I understand I have "limited slip"... would putting in a Eaton posi differential and a Detroit Locker do me any good? Or is it a waste of money?

Posi and Limited slip are the same thing.
Posi is short for POSItraction limited slip.
I would keep the stock geared posi over the clutch Eaton, I have found the Eaton clutches to be short lived and the replacement cost to be barely cheaper than new.

A detroit locker would work great at the strip, but would make the car down right dangerous on the street in the rain. They have a tendancy to lock the axle shafts t/g at bad times (ie going around a turn hard on the gas) sending your rear end right out from under you. The lockers also shock load the axles and I wouldn't want any more stress on the 10 bolt than it already has to take.
The only time I would swap posi units out is if the clutches in the stocker are fried and you are doing the peg leg peel.
