For starters, posi traction will not add ponies under the hood :? It will help you get the power you do have to the ground better. Figure out what rearend you have and shop around for a posi differential. Jegs and Summit carry diffs for pretty much any rear you could have.

Or you can look for an 8.5" or even check with some of your local racers at the circle track, alot of times they fab Ford 9" up for G Bodys and you can usually pick them up pretty reasonable.

dude you can just weld the spider grears together to get pozzy ALL THE TIME.

thats a bad Idea unless it is strickly track duty if it sees much street use it will break axles, when you turn one wheel HAS to turn faster than the other. Thats where posi comes in it disengages when you are turning and locks back for the straights.

if you use the search function on the site i think there should be some pretty in depth threads about rear ends
