Dave, get the quaife and get a 0 camber alignment. That would be enough for tens how you are driving her right now! Great traps for sure. Very impressive.

A RS diff is just like the quaife ( helical or torsen) and doesnt need any special maintainance.

If your sure your only going to drag the Quaiffe is fine.

A torsen sends power to the wheel with the MOST traction, thats why they work so well. If you did pick up an inside front wheel (highly unlikely on such a front heavy car) it should send all power to the the outside front. This is not necessarily the best thing because the outside wheel is trying to corner and accelerate at the same time so some understeer may result but not nearly as much as when an open diff smokes the inside front tire. Also a torsen goes open under deceleration which can help turn in.

It's all irrelevant though if Dave doesn't plan to do anything other than drag it....

I won't speak about the kaaz but you are just wrong about the Quaiffe for road racing. It is nothing short of an unfair advantage. It made an amazing difference and there it just works.

GT40......I'm not saying it doesn't work or it's a POS. My post clearly says that clutch types are more popular. Read this and come back to me.
