    My cousins works at Austin Drive Train and I have to say Auburn HD posi with Richmond gears... They are by far the best quality out there... This combo along with a girdle over the rear cover can support 500hp at the tires so long as you use street tires and not slicks.... I have this set up in an 83 elcamino with a bad azz 383 in front and it holds up just fine........
