[QUOTE="Norm Peterson, post: 16187240, member: 193960"] What kind of track are you referring to? I can tell you that by design lockers aren't as street-friendly as either clutch/cone limited slip diffs or Torsen types. Especially in the rain or under other conditions of low tire grip. Under power, they lock the axle shafts together, which is good as long as you're going either perfectly straight or so close to straight that tire slip can accommodate the necessary difference in outside vs inside wheel path radius without snapping loose. See the comment concerning rain. Torsens are really a corner-carver's kind of differential - there are others that use the same principle - and some have acquired a reputation for being a bit fragile in harsh dragstrip use. If you're going this way, the 2.7 bias ratio Torsen as used in the 2013-ish Boss 302 may be the best of the bunch for a NA street driver, and Ford must be choosing Torsens over the Traction-loks for the more serious corner-carving versions of the Mustang for a reason. FWIW a 2.7 Torsen is currently on my own wish list. I do road courses and hard-ish street cornering from time to time but no drag strips. Norm [/QUOTE]
