I will ask the obvious question. Is it a manual or an automatic. If automatic I must insist on a torque convertor some where in the 3600 range. SFC's are good for tightening up esp. if you have t-tops. The 12 bolt I have to say is OVERKILL esp. if you are stock. I've been running my stock rear with a convertor and a 100 shot of nitrous and the only thing I've had to replace is my limited slip. (at least i think that's what it was.) If you decide to do a complete H/C package then yeah maybe a 12 bolt will be necessary, but if you go that deep immediately any good car shop will inform you that the rear will take a crap if you don't make it stronger.
