Any good 31 spline axle, Moser, Strange, etc... you will need c-clip eliminators or it is better to go to a 9" bearing end, and a Eaton 31 spline carrier this should hold very well. Get a good axle brace, PER, UPR, Mid South, LPW etc...

For a drag set-up, 33 spline axles, 9" ends, 33 spline spool

I think strange makes a 33 spline posi, dont quote me on that though.
With that much power, a spool is probably the way to go. Next id go detroit locker. Just what i would do though. A 700hp daily driver sounds cool, but chances are its going to be a PITA going through a daily routine and traffic and what not. Figure out if its going to be a street car or a weekend warrior type deal. If its a weekend/track car, a spool would probably be tolerable.

I have the Strange ProRace setup -- 33 spline spool, 33 spline axles -- milled on the ends, c-clip eliminators, rear axle girdle, and have the axle tubes welded ... the usual stuff I guess.
