      8.5 10 bolt or 12 bolt

      Ok, I know many of you have been helping me a ton here in regards to my future build of my 68 camaro, and I really appreciate it. I originally thought I had the weaker 10 bolt in my car, but it turns out, I actually have the stronger 8.5 10 bolt. I have gotten great advice so far on the possible 12 bolt I may run,
      But, my questions is, will the 8.5 rear hold up well to 450 crank hp? It will be an ls-1 with a 6 speed, and I'm leaning towards 410 gears, if that makes any difference. I was wanting to go stronger, in case I decided to upgrade power later on, but honestly, 450hp will probably be my limit for quite some time.

      If the 10 bolt will be strong enough, do I have to upgrade anything, such as axles or anything? and if so, does anyone have any suggestions on what brand to use? I think its a non limited slip, so I will more than likely be upgrading it to a limited slip. would a moser 30 spline be the way to go?

      thanks again everyone. I'm trying to stay within a budget, but not at the cost of broken parts.



      also, the car will see mostly daily driving.
      2005 CBR 1000RR..."mostly stock".
      1968 camaro... "in the works".
