question about a 8 1/4 rear end

[Sevenfoe]

will a built 8 1/4 rear end push good with a auburn posi unit, 373 gears and dutchman axles ?

By "push good" I assume you mean will it hold up good. If that's correct the answer is it depends on the power level. They are a decent rearend that will take generally 375~400 hp without much trouble unless your running slicks. Hooking up is what kills rearends. Since yours has upgraded parts it may handle more power.

Oh man cool, you made me more comfortable with my rear end set up. I'm not running slicks, I'm running what u see on my icon picture I have 20 inch irocs and some nexen runner band tires. But when my car gets out the shop im not sure if I will keep the 20's on because the power of the motor can make the handling dangerous with those rims, so I might get some 16 inch kragers or something similar with some bf goodrich regular tires

By the way, whats hooking up ?

traction

Tires grabbing, not spinning. That puts the complete load on the drivetrain. When the tires spin it's less stressful on the drivetrain.

O ok cool, tires like Mickey Tompsons grab are made for grabbing a lot arent they ?

Yes but what kills rear ends, is traction. I know you listed 400hp but the real question is how much torque.

 

[Sevenfoe]

Yes that's true, but I don't want tires that will grab a lot, just regular tires because I won't be drag racing I just want to go fast on the street and hit burn outs and donuts

Toyo tire are some of the best street tires.

Hooking up is what you do at clubs. Pick one with very dim lights and cheap drinks. Grabbing is what you don't want to happen in the mens room. Even if his name is Mickey.
