Valid points Stu. Out of curiosity then, what do you figure a 10-bolt can handle in terms of torque/power?

I dont know what my future plans are for the engine just yet (I just got it running so I am going to abuse it for a while) but right now D2000 estimates my motor at around 380hp/500lb-ft which which, in my unprofessional opinion, is about how it feels (tons of grunt). Barring any catastrophies, I will most likely enjoy it for about 2-3 years and work on the rest of the car in the mean time.

With that said, do you think my current 10-bolt with a posi would suffice? (providing that was the more cost effective route) I just need a little more traction.
