which rear end to pick?

94 firebird, 450stroker, originally a v6 with small rear end. Wondering on some ideas for rear end. Will be street driving along with some racing.

What's a "450stroker"? Do you mean 450 HP.... rear wheel or flywheel? What trans are you running - auto or manual? Will you ever use slicks or drag radials on the strip?

450 hp, flywheel, autotrans , since i went from a fuel injuected v6 to a carbed motor, thinking trans will be a automatic 700r4, getting the new tube k-member next week. Hopefully the motor will be in place and ordering the trans. just looking ahead to the rear end and gears. Open to any and all suggestions. Got ideas for the tranny let me know. Ive got alot of $ in the car so far, as u all would know, just want to do it right and not make to many mistakes.

strange 12bolt should do nicely.

will handle the power fine and is a direct bolt in. even the driveshaft should be the same. although you'll probably want to upgrade to something stronger.
