Can someone blow my mind? Rear end spider gears welded into a posi?
I want a posi. Do u think the rear could handle the power and what are the chances of snapping my axle? Pros and cons?

You can.. but is not the way...
The 100% locked diff is only & stritictly used in a drag races. the welded spider gears (100% locked) made impossible drive the car in a wet seasons IT's IMPOSSIBLE or in your first little turn you go front & kill you by self. not speak about the parts stress (axle, tires, bolts, homocinetical joins)
Just... Don't do it... "go for Quaife 25-45 % locked LSD"

A locked diff will drag the inside tire when you turn and you'll lose the rear in the rain even at 5-10 mph.
Phantomgrip LSD blocks(like kleemann lsd blocks) are $500 and they have been done before in a E55 and my E320. You can change springs out and heaviest duty springs will land you over 50% lock up while the lightest come in at 20-30%.

i recommend you if you use your car in a daily drive & wet streets or raining seasons go for a light locked % to not frie you tires & have a good traction (really the LSD is not very good for a wet streets cause you lose traction in one of the rear tyres when you turn) but is no bad in terms of performance & dry traction
Hope that help

I dont invest my money in a LSD because i don't put my car in a 1/4 mile races, the LSD help your traction in a dry days, but in a wet days is not very helpfull.. for this reason Merceses/AMG not use LSD factory.. BMW M power use LSD in all cars.. the lock % affect very much the driveability sens (you can use by daily drive the 35% locked with no issues).. if you want & have the money, you can... but really i think in exhaust, headers, pulleys, BMC's & some chip tuned before think in a LSD
Just my point
