Diff & Gears

[QUOTE=RadioFlyer;3453335]In for the update! BTW, did you look at the Wavetrac diff? Why did you go with the Quaife?[/QUOTE

I started looking at different diffs but the Quaife kept coming up, I've mainly heard and read good things about it. I still wasn't quite sure so I asked the manager Mike Hanson @ Whitehead performance in Vaughn Ontario where I get most of my work done .
Here's parts of the email he sent me.

" I'm not sure about the
Quaife diff.
In your professional opinion, is the Quaife diff worth it?
The better question would be .... Would you put the Quaife diff I your own car ?"

He answered this " Yes every single time I have the chance to install a Quaife I would. Especially with 4.08 gears because the tires so in easier with these gears. The vdc is a lot more active with the stock viscous lsd. Having the Quaife reduces wheel spin and vdc intervention improving acceleration. Same holds true with vdc off.
Finned Diff cover for better cooling and urethane diff bushings for less diff movement under acceleration are two items we commonly do with a diff upgrade."
