Re: 12 bolt posi
i got a 12-bolt from moser engineering. its pretty much a direct bolt up, stock fit. the company is great to work with and they send the thing pre-assembled and read to install. there are a couple things you gotta do to make everything match up, but all in all its a great set up...

Re: 12 bolt posi
you can make anything fit. i know that the ford 9" is popular. i went with 12 bolt cause it was easiest to put in (was my train of thinking atleast)
all together i paid over 3 grand for the entire project. the rear-end itself was 2.5K and then another couple hundred for a driveshaft. my case was abnormal though cause i had to do extra stuff to get it to fit cause of the rear-end i got. the one you would get might be cheapier than that...

Re: 12 bolt posi
yeah, you can get the moser for about a grand but it wont be as bad ass. mine is a circle track axle that can handle over 750 hp, as is, but i had to pay for it...

Re: 12 bolt posi
hate to be a downer, but chances of you running 11's are pretty slim with 375 to 425hp. But even so, i think the cost of a 12 bolt for that power level, and the fact that you plan on selling it down the road, makes it not worth it. Also not to be a dick, but on average, youre going to make less power than you aim for, so im quite sure that if you proporly set up your ten bolt rear youll be just fine.
