N10142077
RATIO 3-45 SER??
Any help is appreciated.

Looks like maybe you already have the stronger of the 2 available 3rd gen rear ends.....The Aussie 9-bolt.
While it can be broken, it is less likely to break, than a 10-bolt is. 3000+rpm clutch dumps on slicks are still to be avoided, but still more likely to survive than a 10-bolt.

LS1's have the same 10-bolt rear as 3rd gen cars. So it looks like a 9-bolt that you are mating up, well it a better then a 10-bolt rear. Stronger is a poor description, anything can break when people do Dumb&Dumber things to mechanical parts.
