I was looking to install a mini spool in my 10 bolt. I was wondering by just installing the mini spool would it lock both wheels (posi)? Thats what ive come to understand. I was gonna change the ring and pinion axles and also install c-clip eliminators. Would that be a pretty good rear end?I just wanted a posi rear end on the cheap plus its just gonna be for a stcok 350.

Spools are for drag race cars. Street driving would be a pain because when turning, both wheels would turn at the same speed. If you are going to have your rear set up, changing gears will require this, then change over to a LSD unit or a locker.
