What rear end do you suggest to take 600 hp?

I have an 82 Camaro with a blown 350. It puts down about 600 hp. Needless to say, the stock rear end is not going to last! I don't have it tubbed yet, but want to put something in that can take the abuse. I don't plan to make it a dedicated race car, so I don't need top of the line stuff. Any budget minded suggestions?

Thanks!

Are you looking for a bolt-in solution or do you have fabrication skills?

I have done some welding before, but not enough that I would trust my own abilities to do a full back half myself. I guess right now with my budget, I would lean more toward bolt in. The car has a good Turbo 400 tranny, so my main concern is the rear end which is a 3.23 ratio disc rear out of a Trans Am GTA.
