This depends on what you plan to do with your car? Do you want all performance or decent mileage? Deep gears are great with high winding cams with low bottom end power but are a pain in the a$$ to hook on a PA car..


torque arm stock or aftermarket?
I still have a stock TA but thats not to say that i wouldn't rather have an Aftermarket one. Becareful on this one because many people are not happy with some of the shorter TA's. Research this one a little more.

driveshaft stock or aftermarket steel aluminum? Again, depends on what you want to do with the car. The stocker is going to work fine until you get into major power and then you are going to want a Denny's to handle the big stuff.

what posi?
Eaton HD for a street car with some track duty.. The eaton isn't as buttery smooth as the stocker but it works well and won't leave you stranded. A locker is for the serious enthusiast imho

and anything else that i forgot to mention please inform me on everything thanks
Get the HD cover..

if it helps i have a m6 150 dry shot, hals complete kit, slicks, all the bolt ons possible. also if you got a price and were you got it. i am looking at a price of $2200 for everthing abs,upgraded yoke, 33 spline, upgraded cover. thanks"

Seems like a good price. Thats about what i paid for mine but i didn't get in on a GP.. You might do better with a GP?
Shipping is expensive $2xx.00 or so.
Enjoy, should be fun.

With the moser remember you need a shorter drive shaft. Not sure what the recommendations are, but I think mine is about 1/2-1" shorter. Get a 3.5" Aluminum shaft.

If you are going to go with big cam and heads in the future and have a manual trans I would go with 4.10gears. Otherwise stay in the 3.xx range.

With regard to torque arm be ready to modify whatever you buy. I had to grind my mount point of the TA to the rear some and elongage the torque arm mount holes so it would mount to the Moser rear better.

I've got my stocker that's cut to work w/ a Moser and a 4L60E. I'll also have my Spohn HD for the same combo available soon. They're both steel driveshafts.

If you're interested, shoot me an e-mail.

Thumbs up

OH yeah, as mentioned. You will have to shorten the driveshaft from stock about 1".... I remember this now!!! THis was a reason why i couldn't go racing one wknd after the install.

You will have to modify the torque arm a little as mentioned as well. I'd just get all of the above aftermarket items installed at the same time.

More of My $.02,
