Time for a spool...LOL

Sure...the automatic doesnt hit as hard BUT, it still hits hard enough! Asking around on a bunch of forums I got yes and no answers to staying with a posi as the car still see's street duty. I made the decision to try out the posi. Last one lasted me about 25k miles. Granted it was 400rwhp for about 15k miles, the 450rwhp for about 6k miles. Hell, the ring gear broke a 3 teeth before the posi went...so I figured if I could get another 10-15k out of a posi, great! Well it seems 1.4 60 foots and posi's dont work together...LOL
Launched the car as usual and it hooked HARD. Was easily going to be a mid to high 1.4. Car went about 5 feet and BANG! Let off the throttle to listen and heard grinding so I immediately pulled over and the car stopped itself...got out and looked under to see this

as all 2+ quarts of Royal Purple poured out I thought to myself, fuckin posi. For the haters, this was NOT an Eaton unit. I put a Strange Pro (Super Strength) Posi...yea....haha

i dont know much about them and i dont know many that use them...everyone just seems to spool their cars when a posi isnt oging to handle it.

Yeah, but a spool would be terrible on the street. Now that you point it out, I haven't really heard of many people using lockers either.

Damn bro, that's some serious carnage!

I'm with Scotty, a spool won't be too much fun with street duty.

Spool on the street isn't much fun at all..... I've been running a detroit
tru-trac for almost 15,000 miles without problems, and it hasn't had an
easy life either. I went with the tru-trac after killing two clutch pack
ford diffs! The tru-trac is a gear type locker (no damn clutches).

hope this helps....
