A couple general questions...

Hopefully this is the proper forum for these questions. If not, my apologies. I have a couple of questions (some may seem a bit "noobish") that hopefully someone may shed some light on to benefit myself and others' knowledge of F-bodies, and just cars in general.

1) I hear about 8-, 9-, 10-, 12-bolt rears, but I have no idea what those actually are. Can anyone explain what they are, and the differences?

2) Is there any difference between a Limited Slip Differential, and Posi-traction?

3) What is the most effective after-market security system I could purchase? I was thinking some kind of kill-switch to the battery would work, but I'd like others opinions on which works the best.

4) I'm looking for a shift knob for a manual transmission. Gardocki was kind enough to give me some websites like jegs and summitracing, but their selection is a bit limited, specifically in the L-shaped range (tall or short). Any suggestions?

5) I would like to "rust-proof" the underbody of my car. Does anyone have details on this procedure; is it easy enough for a do-it-yourself project, or should I have an auto body specialist take care of it?

6) In general, where is the best place (online and off) to get parts for my F-body; aftermarket or "original replacement parts"?

7) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

8) What would be the best performance increase, in terms of cost-to-power ratios (the cheapest method for HP or Torque boost)? This can be specifically for my 5.0 HO TBI manual, or just in general.
*edit* The cheapest method besides putting stickers, decals, and coffee cans on the vehicle--as well as these methods work for hondas and other rice, I'm not much of a fan.


That's all I have for now. I'm sure more will pop into my head as soon as I hit the "submit new thread" button. lol

Thanks in advance, everyone!
