Don't worry though you'll want to get an Eaton anyway because the GM posi is a POS.

Eaton builds the OEM G80,it won't lock over 20MPH and it's weak.If you are looking to add a posi go with the Eaton posi with the carbon fibre clutches or an Auburn Pro.My Radix Tahoe would spin one tire from a punch when I had the G80,my Auburn Pro is much better.Besides I destroyed the G80 at the track after just a few passes.
