Its the same rear the V8s come with, so you should be fine unless u have some crazy plans. I am not sure about a horspower/torque number, but the two fastest cars on this board still have the stock rear.92 S10 3800 A4(96)<br />1/4: 14.374 @ 92.25 w/ 1.976 60\'<br />Turbo and 12\'s Coming Soon!

for the V8's it's not power that kills them. It;s traction. you start getting under a 1.8 60 foot. start to watch out.1996 Silver camaro Z28.

The rears are the same, but the 2-piece V6 shaft won't take as much abuse as a V8 1-piece. You can easily swap shafts for a 1-piece though.1994 Firebird 3.4<br />15.65 @ 86.8<br /><a href=\"http://www.funkz.net/firebird.htm\" target=\"_blank\">funkz.net/firebird</a><br /><a href=\"http://mywebpages.comcast.net/funkz/timeslips.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Timeslips</a>

Every 3.8 I've seen had a 2-piece. 'course those have all been mid-late 90's cars. Did GM start using a 1-piece in the later V6?

Instead of guessing, maybe you all should read the Technical Database. Read 1998 and 1999.
