You missed the point of my post.

I think he just worded his racing response the wrong way. The 9" is great, especially with a lot of torque. For your 7.5 rear it needs 28 spline axles, girdle cover plus a 7 5/8" posi, new or used gears, shim kit and solid spacer. Can you set up gears? A used Monte SS complete rear should be fine, in good shape, for a decent price.

Guys, please keep it civil. No need to call each other names, please try to stay on topic

i have heard of guys actually complaining about their cars slowing down after putting one in because it takes more power to get the car going b/c of the location of the pinion to the ring it sits low in the carrier. IMO i think it is over kill.

I would say a 9" is probably overkill but at the same time it is an upgrade that you would probably only need to do once and if somewhere down the road you decide to upgrade the power or you end up going to the track and throw some slicks on it, you already know your rearend can handle the abuse.
Like a lot of things I do on my car the upgrades are also for piece of mind, I don't like things breaking.

well there is a monte carlo ss for $1,000 on craigslist i am pretty sure it has the original rear i can just buy that and get it powdercoated right? see i have heard that aswell that 9" takes alot of power to turn but would it work better if i supercharge the 383? i mean its going to be everyday driver so gas is not a issue i just want the right componets to not have to buy new stuff later on that will cost me thousands. From what i recall the ss rear came with 373 gears and its a 7.5 aswell so what diffrence would it make to my v6 rear end other than the gears in it ,other than just fuel economic on the v6 rear and ss more speed.
