Re: no grip for shizit
A posi or limited slip center section would be the best option. Even a sticky (one) in an open rear probably wouldn't do as good as a posi or limited slip center section.
Short of that, its just a matter of ROLLING into the throttle, not overpowering the tire & not STABBING it to the floor.

Re: no grip for shizit
Look at the center section cover.....9 bolt heads = a 9-bolt &, you guessed it....10 bolt heads = a 10-bolt. Only 2 options there were (except the RARE Dana 44 under the Firehawks)
