Rear housing Question

With the power level and weight you will have I would consider a 8 3/4 Detroit locker. The Locker for the 489 case fits up to 4.56 gears.
Most of the time a Locker will have a spool beat on MPH. 30 spline gives you plenty of choices in Stock or stock re-splined axels That
are budget friendly and plenty strong. If you do go all out on axels a 30 spline has a weight advantage.
I'm not sure, but you might even find a gun drilled 30 is available.
