Uh.. lately I have been thinking.. since after I finish my mods, I will have about 270 h/p, and about 340-ish torque, will I need a new rear-end? I have a 3:23 limited slip right now. How much power will the stock one hold? Will I be ok w/ out a Posi? Now I am talking about BARE MINIMUM's here.. I dont want to hear "well, ya really should cuz they are BETTER.." I want to hear if i ABSOLUTELY NEED TO, as my budget is ULTRA tite.
Thanx a bunch guys,
Matt

 

should be fine as-is as long as you don't do any high rpm clutch dumps or run sticky tires(slicks, DRs)

 

Well, sticky tires, aka EXPENSIVE tires ( ) are totally out of the question. I am sticking with the Goodyear Eagle GT 2's.
WHen you say "high rpm", what would you consider "high"? Will traction be really hard to find with the power levels I will be reaching?
Thanx Dave,
Matt

 

you wont have any problems, thats about stock, i ran about 475hp on a bone stock 7.5'' 10bolt 3.42:1 rear end on et streets

 

Wow.. really? Thats kool.. at least I am feeling better about it now, lol. But did you have posi? I am assuming so..
