Fwiw
Never had a problem with a 10 bolt (1971)until I moved to the low 12”s / high 11”s on sticky tires….. 3900+ weight class
IF you are not looking to push power past 400hp AND your always going to be on street tires, I wouldn’t worry about it. Had very good luck pushing the 10 bolt to its max using a aluminum housing cover with built in bearing preloads….. seemed to make it last waaaayyy longer than I expected given I was tearing it up at the track pretty much every weekend.
Of course those days are gone and the 10 bolt DID NOT like 1.5x 60’s at all….. so bye bye 10 bolt
Never did break an axle, but I did blow the ring and pinion up….
