What are you using the car for ? A full posi. as you call it is actually called a spool and used for track .(1/4 mile straight line racing).Limited slip/posi. is used for road racing and street/strip .If its track with hard launches than 9" OR 12 Bolt may be in order.

You are probably going to break the 10 bolt, but if you want to build it then use a 28 spline Eaton Posi and a set of 28 spline axles. Your 26 spline axles are too small.

Limited slip and posi are the same thing. What you have right now is a standard differential.

Get a Detroit Locker. They never let one wheel spin alone, but still work fine on the street.
