Wavetrac is an outstanding rear diff and will do what you want. I ran one in my Z and have it on the shelf a back up. What is funny about the Wavetrac is that it never overheated on the track but I got it to puke fluid on the tail of the Dragon.

Wavetrac is definitely my choice, it is a proven outstanding unit and if I am pushing the car that hard and I see the need in the future for something better I can always upgrade my diff setup to something else down the line.

Yes, that is the plan. I was already looking to see where I can attach some extra weight. The diff was just going to be a bonus.
