Well, I suppose I am a bit biased but I think that we offer a number of options that would easily suit your power and torque needs. In fact if you provide me with a little more info regarding planned usage I will be happy to make a recommendation for you.
I am sure that there are quite a lot of folks with rear-end suggestions to and they may also want to know your plans. So, let us know and we will be happy to assist you further. Thanks!

I would definitely recommend a Monster Stage 3 or higher clutch. You can check them out at www.monsterclutches.com , they are also having a sale right now and you can upgrade to a lightweight flywheel for free. Their customer service is second to none and their 12 month/ 12,000 mile warranty is way better than any other competiter. Quite a few members will chime in and also tell you to put a monster in your car!

I think we are all still waiting on more specifics for the vehicles planned usage. At least, it would be great to know when making a suggestion on the parts that should be used. SSpower can you share a bit more about your plans for the car? Thanks,

I will agree with you on teh LEVEL of clutch, more info is needed. But rearend, S60 ALL DAY LONG BABY!! Even on a bolt on car (or stock for that matter) the stock 10 bolt is crap.
But, I know what you meant though

S60. While teh 9" is by far and away the most popular rearend out there, the S60 (Dana 60) is still the rear of choice for me. One of the car mag's did a test on some of teh most popular rear ends here @ a year ago, Dana 60, 9", 8.8, 12 Bolt etc....
they weighed them, they did a "horsepower drag" test (how much power did it take to turn each one), price, gear availability, etc...
While teh 60 weighed more, it was not much, and they required @ the same amount of power to turn. If I remember correctly, it actually took more power to turn the 9" over teh 60 (again, it was not much though).
And it was agreed that the 60 is a stronger rear end as well.
Not that it matters much, you have your opinion, I have mine, and I doubt any info that is thrown out there would change your mind (not that I am trying to anyways). My .02.
