rearend differential help?

I had a dte stage 4 in the car, no dte brace, which im sure I should have had, and will when it goes back together, the gearset came apart on a 1-2 shift and I think with everything in a bind it caused the case to come apart. I have a set of dte's new shot peened hardened gears, supposedly better than the ones I was sold a year ago. I am currently looking for a case, thats my question is there a strength difference between a c5 z06 case and a coupe rearend casing?

all help appreciated, thanks

02-up 3-rib differential cases are all the same. Those are the best cases to use for a bolt in application for a C5 without modification.
