They do weigh in rather "fat", but the biggest problem with them is the angle between the pinion and ring gears. That angle is pretty big, and eats up quite a bit more horsepower than other choices.
You might want to consider a Ford 8.8, especially if you can snag one out of a Mustang. Most of them were limited slip rears, and later ones had disc brakes on the back.
