OK.
I am a rear end IDIOT. I understand little to nothing about them, and while I posted on mf.com and asked for advice, needless to say i got little.
I have a 408w mated to a built c4... i have what i believe to be the stock rear end in it, and I am ready for something that'll burn both tires...
I have heard many different ideas...
"detroit locker"
"trac-lok"
etc.
Whats the difference between posi, spool, and traction lock? Is there one? My rear is a 9" and I want some better gearing, and for t to lay it out between both tires...
I have never taken my car to the strip. I'd like to, once in a great while, but that is hardly what the car is for. It is a street car, so my main concern is about good highway gears, but that I can get some go off the line when I want it... so 4.11s are not quite what I'm looking for, I gather.
I was told to find a posi 3.25 or 3.5 3rd member with 28 splines, because as an original 302 2bbl car, i most likely don't have 31 splines.
Can anyone do some explaining to me? What gearing does it sound like I need, and what kind of ballpark am I looking at for like a posi 3.25 or so 3rd member? Are there other options.
Thanks alot.
