Rearend for 500hp+?

I've searched. (Information far, wide & sparce).

What diffs are u guys using for over 500hp+?
Material treatments?
Gear ratio?
Low-speed, tight-radius corner problems?
What axles are u using?
Ballpark figure of hp & tq u're putting down.

Regards,
H. Kurt Betton

Isn't it Steven Papadakis that's turning a Ford 9" Rear around and sticking it under the engine of his Pro-FWD import drag racer?

Another option will be to avoid drag or racing slicks to reduce the stress that the rearend will see.

Quite possibly all of the above at some point or the other. Primarily daily driver.

Thanks for the info but I'm already familiar with the available parts & numerous treatments. I was hoping someone currently using it would surface and offer a word of experience (i.e. the cons) regarding their particular setup. Maybe once u get finished u'll bless me w/ such advice? (coincidentally, I came across your build in my searches).
