just wondering what you need to keep your diff from taking a crap when you add power. do i need more than just a final drive set and an upgraded lsd or is there more to it. any knowledge would be appreciated.

 

the end caps are typically what fails first, from what i remember

 

Here is a good place to start. Scroll down a bit to the Diff section, and you can see all the things that can be done to make the stock diff stronger.

I run one myself with Comptech S/C at 11 psi. Very solid diff.

 

upgrade the diff, and the tranny/axles become next weakest link.

check out puddymod built diff. he makes like 3 different styles. i have read nothing but great things about his diff.

 

what kind of power mods or driving will you be doing?

 

most likley s/c, something around 300-350. dont want to boost till i can back it up

 

its w/e, everything breaks, I broke my stock AP2 diff with just simple boltons and 255s in the back... unless you do the R200 kit or buy puddymods diff, you might as well just do a rebuild when it goes and get everything cryotreated/heat cycled.

 

agree, you can break the diff by rolling stock 225 rear tires, it's about how you treat it.

break traction of drive train seems to when launching the car

 

just dont dig it.
