Floater rear 9 inch with a torque arm?

I talked with a Strange rep today about getting a rear end. When I told him that my primary use was to be autocross and HPDE he said that his units were not designed for the side loads involved and recommended that I get a full floater rear. Trouble is this seems to be a pretty special circumstance. I can find floaters for Cutlasses and Regal, but not for a Camaro? Can anyone help?

Funny, I just got off the phone w/ Strange and started looking for the same thing...
Did you ever find a full floater to put in?
