Gear's and Posi

i am in the process of having 3.91's put in my L99. I am seeing more options to beef up the rear.

People are doing JRE posi mod or going for an entire eaton trutrac posi.

What are some of you guys running?

my car has about 30k miles on it it currently has full boltons and a tune but i plan to do head cam and if so potentially a blower in the future.

Is the stock posi and rear diff ok with just 3.91 gears? Should i do the posi mod or go for a more aggressive eaton trutrac? Or is there even a better option? I hardly see posi units mentioned wanted to utilize the down time with having the diff out to really beef it up if needed.

Lets talk about these rear ends, whats everyone running and on what setup?

L99 with 3.91 and Eaton Truetrac over here. Love it. If you are going to do it just get the TrueTrac and be done.

I'm planning on doing the 3.73 gears and Eaton Trutrac for my L99 but I'm more interested in twisties than drag racing.
