This is part of the reason why we put this package together, it's virtually the same kit we have on our 2013 GT500:
Lethal Performance S197 Axle & Differential Upgrade Kit
Definitely worth considering. Give us a call if you have any questions
Thanks!
Those of us with the torsen don't have the carbon disks correct?

What is this rated to handle? If a person did this package and added the typical LCA/UCA setup that many are already opting for, would this be fairly bullet proof for most things you're going to throw at it on the strip? Obviously you can break anything if you try hard enough but would this be sufficient for an average power package upgrade and hard drag launches with sticky tires?
Tough to put an exact number on it, but with that being said, our 1000+RWHP 2013 that recently made that 9 second pass was equipped with this kit. With the added clutch pack for the diff, it's definitely a strong kit.
Yeah, I'm not trying to pin you down to some sort of hard and fast number or anything. It's just we all know parts can handle a pass or two without breaking, yet still not be a good choice for long term durability. If it can handle a season of racing at your power level without breaking, I'd imagine it would be more than up to the task of a casual racer with 400rwhp less. :shrug:
We totally understand where you're coming from. The reason we built this kit is from personal experience. We've owned several cars which all see lots of abuse both on the street and the track. One of our cars we equipped with a trutrac that actually worked out pretty good. It held up great at the track and drove real nice on the street. The other was equipped with a spool. For a street car that's definitely far from friendly and I personally don't recommend this for any street setup. It wasn't until we started messing with our 2011 5.0L and Boss that we ended up using the FRPP diff w/carbon clutches and additional discs.
I thank Jake at Power by the Hour for teaching us about this. He showed us that there's no need to spend $500 to $700 for something that will hold and drive well when we could do it for a lot less.
I trusted him with that and had him rebuild the rear end in our 5.0L with the FRPP diff and additional carbon clutches. We did the same for our 2012 boss which toasted the stock diff our first trip to the track. Once we did the upgrade we never had an issue. Keep in mind that the 5.0L has seen more passes then most cars as we were working to get the car into the 9's on the stock motor with the stock MT-82. Same goes for the Boss. We went at it pretty much every week so as you can imagine these cars saw plenty of high rpm launches and powershifting.
Not once did either of these cars experience any slipping or differential issues. What's great about this setup as well as they drive on the street like stock. There's no noise, vibration or any slipping of the diff ever.
So naturally when we burnt up the Torsen in our 2013 GT500 we went with what works which was the kit we now offer.
With that said this upgrade will not only handle the power level you're making but quite a bit more. I'm also not talking about one or two passes here or there. I personally rely on this setup and know how well it works. If I didn't think it was capable of that I would have never put it in any of my cars as paying to do things twice sucks.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, Jared
How many extra discs? What sequence you use? Thxwe ended up using the FRPP diff w/carbon clutches and additional discs
Nope, you would need c-clip eliminator axles or weld on 9" axle tube ends.
I've done both, IMO better to just do the 9" conversion at that point.
Only Moser has GT500 axles with ABS rings installed and 9" ends with a bracket to use the stock brakes, I just used their parts.
We'll see how they hold, typically I like Strange better.

Strange has the same thing.....
Clips?
My 33-spline Mosers for 9" ends had the ABS rings installed.
Maybe they're talking about c-clips but that should swap over easy. GTR has been doing it awhile, I'm sure they'll hook it up, let us know how you like the gears.
