Mark I think its time to get away from N/A although youve proven to be a force to reckon with with just bolt ons.
As for eveyone else we have still only heard from 5 people including myself I know there has to be more fast fords on here. Just post and say hi I have a (insert your car)
Thanks. But Being that this is my daily driver reliability is JOB 1. So I think now Im gonna stay N/A until I get a another car just in case my motor goes Kaboom!.....again!
I ran 12.8 the other day agaist Killa5.0 and his cobra. Yes I got waxed but it all in good fun. I think I might get a Torsen diff. As far as Auburn Ive heard way too many horror stories with them. Sorry but no thanks. -Mark
The horror stories that you heard probably were about the regular Auburns not the Auburn Pros. A lot of the breakage comes from improper installation and people not using the proper fluids and friction modifiers. Also I have noticed the people that break a lot of rear ends are the same ones doing 30 second burnouts every run at the track. So no matter what brand you run they will only last if you do not beat the sh** out of them all the time.
Believe it or not I have been running my stock unit and axles since new (1990)and it has never been rebuilt and I have never broken anyting in the rear ! That is with nearly 100 runs at the track on the bottle and slicks dropping the hammer around 4000 rpms! I am the only person I know that has got this much useage out of the original unit. I am gearing up to go much faster soon so I am going the smart route and beefing up the rear suspension first instead of breaking it first.
The Torsen diffs. are getting a lot of press right now because they are the new kid on the block so everyone wants to try them. Do as you please just make sure it is installed properly and you use the correct fluids and modifiers.
