Please tell me I'm not the only one to destroy a diff on my N/A car.

Is it very complicated to change yourself,I am a medium level do it yourself..

 

Swapping out the whole assymbley wouldn't be too difficult if you had the right tools, but swapping out the ring, pinion and end caps should be left to the experts.

 

I have always been careful..with the exception of six runs one night at the track while still N/A. Since the blower, clutch and other goodies, I have launched like a granny... I am running a 4 puck sprung ceramic clutch that is quite grabby...still looking for one that I can slip like the stock, but still clamps enough to handle the 351hp...

SO we can all agree that the solution to this problem is the Comptech re-inforcement, right? But while the assy is apart, what LSD whould be the best choice, bang for buck? -Or is a new LSD really needed with the Comptech housing?

How can you tell if you've just jacked the Ring and Pinion and not the more? I just started getting very bad noises coming from the rear on deceleration....making left turns seems to make the sound go away. Is this just the R&P then?

I did have a nail in my tire that reduced my right rear pressure to probably about 10psi....I drove it home. Could the slight difference in diameters from the psi difference push the R&P over the edge? If that didn't cause it could it have been the drifting I partook in after I swapped out the rears with a spare set.....nah, that couldn't have been it.

BTW--I do have a comptech reinforced differential and an SC.
