rear end question....build the 10 bolt or find a ss or vmax 14 bolt?

Ok, so this winter im doing a cammed lq9 swap in my 2wd 07 ecsb clone. Trans and rearend are still stock for now, its got the 10 bolt, 3.23 gear with the g80. Ill be running a 3k stall with a comp xer273hr cam, ported and polished heads with tbss intake on it. I also run 305-40-22's. Do you guys think i should just build my 10 bolt rear with a new locker and maybe 3.73 gears or wait untill a 14 bolt comes around for sale? And do you think 3.73s or maybe a 4.10? I would think the 4.10 would be a bit much. Thanks in advance

I'd do a 14 bolt 4.10 if it was me. That low gear will get you moving quicker.

You guys are putting 14 bolts under these trucks?! I would have never thought that these would need them. That's a hell of an axle.

Well the 2wd ss trucks came stock with the 14 bolt, not the same as the hd 8 lug rears tho. I agree with the 4.10, just worried that will be too much and just spin off the line. And are the 9.5 14 bolts really that strong?

I don't know about the 9.5. I only know of the full float 10.5. That's what I thought you was talking about. Sorry bout that. I didn't know
