Default whats the best rear end setup for auto-x?

Hey guys, Iam getting ready to have my 8.5" 10-bolt gone through and I wanted to set it up for more autocross racing. What would be the best set up (gear ratio, LS option , axles etc) for that? I was thinking of 3:73s with a Tru-trac but is that better than say a traditional posi unit for cornering? Any suggestions appreciated

Depends on who you ask and who's setting the car up. Some people swear by lockers, some swear by true-trac's.

I've driven multiple high horsepower auto cross only cars that run lockers so that's where I would go.

I have a 8.5" 10 bolt, and have a Eaton posi, with 30 spline moser axles.
