I've done a little reading and I know everyone is generally hyped on the 4 bolt rear end. But is the swap really worth it? Will 400 or so whp really snap the 3 bolt rears?
I know that it's considered an upgrade but what's the opinion on here? Necessary? -------------------- |

The 4 bolts can withstand 680hp at the wheels... Worth it to me.
BTW- if anyone has one such rear end for sale, I'm currently in the market.... Yea, I broke it... (didn't get the shaft pushed into the diff all the way and striped the gears off the end of it). If I can't find one locally, I'll probably go back to a 3 bolt till i break it because of raw power and not a stupid mistake.
