    Is the 4 bolt rear end the strongest available?

    Just finished ripping out the 3 bolt rear end out from the Talon. I'll be creating strictly a drag car and wondered if there is anything out there stronger than the stock 4 bolt rear end since i'll already be shelling out 300-400 bucks for one, might as well go all out if its going to fail down...
