I probably got more than one thing to deal with getting proper traction, but getting both tires to pull at the same time is where I would like to begin.
Before I sink any more money in a locker or spool, (the Auburn will come out), I would like to get a rearend that going to be there as hp increases.
What is a 600 hp durable rear end that I don't have to be a fab expert to install? What is the hp limit for a 10 bolt?
Thanks for your help.

Wow! It sounds like you got more out of that 10-bolt than most...they just do not hold up to drag slicks. Running slicks and high horsepower will require a significantly built reared (either 12-bolt or Ford 9-inch). Several providers offer bolt in units in both.
