I cant decide what 12 bolt rear I should go with. I currently in the process of putting a 396 lt1 in my 97 Z and I all heard is 10bolts = failure. So I'm looking at the Moser rear offered on Hawksthirdgen or a Strange rear. I currently have a 10 bolt with 2.73 which is a three channel rear (the car came stock with a four channel....someone replaced it with this three channel prior to me owning the car) I have a four channel 10 bolt with 3.42 gears sitting in my garage. Should I sell both and put the money towards a 12bolt rear or should I just pull the 2.73 rear out and put the 3.42 rear in (keeping in mind that the 4 channel rear should be on the car)?

I have 6M, t56 trans in the car and the car will have a 550hp at the crank within weeks. so should I do 3.73 or the 4.10 with the 12bolt?
