Currently have 3.23 gears in a non posi rear. I would like to get rid of this peg led and throw a posi unit in there and if the gears have to be pulled to do so i might aswell upgrade them aswell. So i have a few questions...

1. Upgrade to 3.42's or 3.73's? if im gona upgrade might as well go to 3.73's right?
2. Richmond, Motive, Summit brand?
3. which posi? - A fellow camaro guy recomended "Dan's Gears" on ebay. They are rebuilt posi units. Not a bad deal for $125. Im not trying to throw a $500 detroit locker in there.
4. Is there any other way to get a posi rear, besides welding the spider gears or simply looking for a full posi rearend. Been looking for over a month now and havent found anything.
5, and lastly a ballpark figure for the amount of hours it should take a shop to install

Thanks
