Rear build for power

So I am looking to build my rear end up a bit with some mix match parts, just dropped an ERL 427 w/f1a procharger, squash dual setup and flex fuel conversion into my M6 car.

I have already or previously installed JRE posi mod spohn trailing arms, solid bushings, cradle bushings, and LPE 3.70 gears that seemed to work ok for 560rwhp I was making but now I am preparing for a 800+ rwhp so I am gathering parts for the rear end so far I have ordered

A set of Gforce axles..... have no clue if they are 850 or 1500 hp axles bought them from a board member here who bought them from another member I found the original for sale post where the original owner said they were the 300m version no clue what that means

An Eation Detroit Truetrac
JRE Billet main caps
A set of factory 3.45 gears and a richmond gear install kid
DSS 1 piece drive shaft

Is there anything else I would need or that I am over looking to add a little insurance to my cars rear end. Mainly street driving (aggressive) with the occasional 1320 Video no prep or test and tune night at the strip?

it would've been more beneficial imo to do the zl1 rear swap. especially with a manual. I beat the crap out of my zl1 rear at that power level and slicks on stock zl1 axles too.

but the main issue is going to be the case deflection on a launch that's what will eventually cause it to break.

Do you think the LPW cover is something else I should consider for that as well? Eventually I plan on doing a rear end swap, will more than likely do a Strange diff setup when I am ready to step up from the F1A to the F1X. Just want to be able to have some fun in the meantime without blowing it up.

the LPW cover(pro ver) is a must (IMHO) if you stick with your current plan...but as others have stated...when you go F/I ya can't beat a ZL1...

You can add all the parts in the world to the SS differential and at the end of the day the stock ZL1 rear end is still 10x stronger

You're wasting your money with that rear and your eventual power level.

Eventually doing the strange rear end just can't afford the full setup at this point,and I need to be back on the road its been on jackstands for 2 years with the new engine and fuel system swap. I have seen plenty of people running the trutrac's making 800HP + with them. I already had planned for axles at a minimum and had a factory set of 3.45s. Also had the billet caps not installed yet. Will definitely hold better than factory. What kind of power are people successfully throwing at the ZL1 diffs?

ZL1 is the way to go. I put 800whp down at the strip on stock zl1 driveshaft, axles, and diff.
