Default NEED HELP FROM EVERYONE!DIFFERENTIAL

I recently spent a great deal of time researching a replacement diff for our cars. Unfortuantely there really is not much out there. Next year I wanted to campaign an s2000 drag car which caused the research and the motor is already being built. The diff would have to be capable of holding at least 700 hp at the wheels and 500 ftlbs. There is a lot of possibilities with an 8.8, a corvette, and other swaps, but it comes down to a solid solution.

I have been in touch with Quaife NA to build a diff to hold 1300 hp at the wheels. They have done some with the same diff (Laskey Racing) on B series blocks and housing. Now they are able to do the same with our housing. The difficult part is that we will have to get 25 people to purchase the diffs at 1K each. The turn around time will be 6-8 weeks. Both Jason and Shawn from Quaife are ready to start production but they need to know there will be buyers. They can not make just one due to their costs involved.

Of course all transactions will be hanlded strictly by them. If you are seriously interested, then PM me with your questions and comments and I will do my best to get you the answers.

long as you're going that far, why not just adapt a 12 bolt and a powerglide? make a plate adapter up front. The tranny won't hold the hook up.

Now there's a drag machine..

it's not the diff that blows up, it's the ring and pinion in most cases. You're wasting your money if you think just replacing the diff is going to solve our problems.

Plus. since this is clearly a commercial solicitation, you're going to need to read these rules https://www.s2ki.com/ads and put this item in the proper forum (Group Buys).
