Default what's the advantage to the V8 diff?

Default Better rear wheel torque distribution than the open diff. No locking feature though. Good for track
duty but absolutely NOT recommended for drag strip application. TOO many little parts that like to grenade themselves in a heavy duty drag strip launch.

Default More Questions . . .
How about power and fuel efficiency versus stock?

Default Not LSD in the clutch sense. LSD in the TorSen sense. BTW: Never engage the rear diff lock when
the wheels are spinning. Both wheels need to be completely stopped. If not, you will hear a load bang/crunching noise that will co$t you.

Cody knows that story oh too well.
