I want a very strong rear end, but of course I want to be realistic at the same time. So as far as a complete rear end, what are my best options?
Thanks,

I personally am a big fan of overkill & safety....I would definately recommend a GMR full floater fabricated chromolly housing w/35 spline axles (35 spline on both carrier & drive plate side of axles) Nobody offers a complete fabricated full floater rear, HUB to HUB with apple for apple componentry as GMR does....I know because I looked and ended up buying one myself....it is very impressive stuff. If you will be running 1000hp+ you will feel much more at ease when you lay on the throttle knowing you have these components. Being a Full Floater you will reep many benefits...eliminating pre-mature bearing wear/leaky seals and or piston knock back seen by semi-floater rears, should you 1/4 mile the car and run a set of slicks and actually hook....god forbid you snap an axle, at least you will roll to a safe stop since your hub/wheel/tire will remain in tact and allow you to coast to a safe stop. As for 3rd members I like Mosers Aluminum case and Wavetrac. If you were more of a 1/4 mile car I would say go spool since I do not believe the Wavetrac is rated continuous at 1000hp+.....but since I believe you are probably more autocross/road course/pro tour/etc. a Wavetrac probably would be the best all around center section. Well with all this being said it will not be cheap....BUT BULLETPROOF & SAFE! Email Jason over at THE GMR
