[Fot] Advice on Differential - Stock, Lock or LSD

[Scott Janzen]

I'm with Steve - my GT6 has a welded 3.89 in it.  There was one in the car when I got it, who knows how old, just destructed this summer after eight years of racing (and I coasted into pit lane with the rear end sounding like a can of bolts).  I now have another 3.89 in the car, and a spare one welded up.  They're cheap and reliable.  They do require a certain driving style for this nose-heavy car - brake mostly before you are in the turn and get on the gas early to aim the car.

Cars with welded rears are a pain to roll around the paddock or garage, however!

Well my GT6 has O/D and so it was supposed to have the 3.89 ratio diff.  But I
have found that was swapped out at some point to a 3.27.  I want to go back to
a 3.89 unit.  Any good sources for one?  And for road racing, should I go
stock, weld it, or go with a LSD.  I hear of a lot of failures with the Quaife
units - so I hate to throw a grand at that product.  Any advice is
appreciated!

Thanks,

Chuck Watson
