Eaton, the powertrax works but they are noisy. Alot of people use the powertrax because you can install them with out having to remove the gears. Since you are going to do a gear swap anyways I would use the eaton. I buy all my stuff from Randys Ring and Pinion.

Eaton, definately. I've had mine in for about 2 years now, and it's never let me down once.

I've got the powertrax, only because I already had a 3.42 12 bolt and didn't want to break it down. It IS kinda noisy when cornering but I don't mind that too much. The true test for me is seeing if it'll really handle that 800+ hp that they claim it will.

When I grenade it I'll put a 9" in anyhow
