[QUOTE="1995COBRA-R, post: 3054040, member: 9515"] This may have little to do with your car. I use a spool on my '65 vintage race car. The old cars do not like to turn and the spool allows you to help get your car to turn (since you want the rear end to come around;ie: it's loose as heck). We also use bias tires (required) which gives you plenty of "sliding ability". If you ain't sliding, you ain't going fast. We all change to an open rear diff or limited slip for Daytona. You don't want your rear end loose there. The wall can really hurt, and it will scare you to death if you start sliding the rear at 150mph. You have to change rear gears anyway for Daytona so you just remove the spool. I prefer some sort of limited slip on my '94 car. I use the Hoosier radials, and they don't allow much forgiveness. If they start sliding; it's harder to correct. I guess it also depends on your driving style, and the tracks you plan to run. [/QUOTE]
