What brand of gears have a good track-record? Or will any of the manufacturer's be fine?

What are the benefits of an aluminum case? Is it worth the extra cost?

What are the benefits of an aluminum pinion support? Worth the extra cost?

What pinion yoke should I go with?

THANKS!
Go with a limited slip for street/strip use. Ford makes a good one, the F31A. How much power are you making? Any well know manufacturer should be fine if it's a street/strip car. Do not go with an aluminum case or pinion support, they are for race only. Go with a nodular iron case. Currie, Strange, and Moser all make good ones. For yokes, Currie, Strange, and Moser all make good ones. I went with the 1350. If you're looking to get a center section built, Currie custom makes them to your specs.
