not to snake a sale here but fred, wouldnt you be better off with a truetrack or the like? do you really want a detroit locking up when you power on in a turn? seems like a good way to back it into a telephone pole.

... oh this is for a racecar, If you really want to go fast I suggest a detroit or spool. If you want to do burnouts leaving the mall go for a limited slip. It will have a little rougher drive if the camaro is just a cruising car but I'm sure you know that.
I'm not going to take it out inless someone wants it but nothing should be worn when I put it in I completly rebuilt the axle with chromo shaft.

John, I know guys who autocross with full detroits that like the predictability and reliability of their detroit. Detroit lockers aren't near as noticable in a car, nor are spools. You have to remember, it's a 25" tall tire that is only 10-11" wide with an inch of sidewall that you're trying to convince to slip in a turn, not a knobby 35+ tire with a 8 inch-ish squishy sidewall. I would prefer something like a zexel-torsen, but finding any diff under $450 for a 9" is worth checking into.

yeah, we used a zexel in our race car. it's very nice. just wasnt sure if they made them for a 9". ours actually came out of an audi awd "transfer" case. i would just think that, with a detroit, after coasting through an apex and powering out you could get really loose when it locks up and the inside tire uses up all of it's tire circle in the long direction. once you got used to that, im sure it'd be fine, but you'd never be able to exit a corner as quickly as you could with a zexel style that will bias torque and speed.
In a road racing situation with broad sweepers, I would agree with you on the zexel. But, as far as autocrossing, the guy I'm thinking about that was an SCCA Solo II Champion did so with a detriot locker in his 9 inch. Autocrossing is more of a surgical attack on short corners, with a need for faster, shorter reaction and response, so it makes sense that a detroit would work better for that than it would for road racing.
Oh, and I think the True-Trac is as close as they get to a zexel for a 9inch.

Does any body want this? If not I am going to put it back into action.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
what gears are on it travis possibly 4.56? if so i would maybe be interested in buying the whole 3rd
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
they are 4.11, but I'm keeping the third and gears. If someone wanted this I was just going to put a spool in it since I think this axle is about to go under the 77.
