I plan on driving the car 95% street as I already have 2 other LSX cars for racing 2000 with a 441lsx in the 9's and a 92 iroc 10.5 with a 434 in the 8's so I just want to make this durable for the street as most of my time is spent maintaining the other cars for racing. The car runs 11.68 now I plan on adding a 150 zex kit and hope for 10.90's that should also put me around 550rwhp. I really dont want to spend $4,000 on a conversion, I'll buy another Camaro instead and build another 9" myself for $1,000 first. I just want it to be durable.....so I wil need stubs does anyone make a locker or similar or will the stock unit live ? I just ordered a Coan 4L60E trans to drop in when this one ***** out and had a drive shaft made. Is the factory rear case strong enough ? who are the manufactures of the parts I need ? axle stubs, gears, driveshaft loop, carrier ? I may have worded it wrong I know of several manufacturers what one do you suggest I see you know what your doing and I like to do rhngs once...

wait until it breaks...if it ain't broke don't fix it...
i have been waiting on mine to break for over 3 years now...
70,000 miles on mine...stock stubs,half shafts,drive shaft,transmission,rear end,and over 150 passes at the track...stopped counting slips after 150 as that was more work than i felt like doing...
stock intake,stock throttle body,stock glove box,etc..
cam,headers and stall stirred up with a 150 shot wet kit...
low 11's all day,everyday...no 10's yet as most all the 150+ earlier runs were 1/8th mile stuff since 2006...only 30 passes so far this summer as i am a little lazy to go much in the heat right now as opposed to most of the other local posers...
just a host of 11.0's for now...
