will changing the rear end (differential)provide better traction?

[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10630564, member: 11681"] If you are primarily a drag racer I would not bother with the significant expense of a Torsen T2R. I would re-clutch your traction lock and maybe shim it a bit tighter. If you are set on better street and drag differential combined performance, a Detroit True Trac will endure higher shock loads than a T2R, but it does not have as high of a bias ratio as the T2R which in fact DOES HAVE CLUTCHES added to the same basic design as the True Trac, to enhance it's bias ratio. The True Trac is similar to the Torsen T2 and the T2R is basically a T2 with added bias enhancing clutches. The T2R is an awesome diff and performs better than the True Trac because of the better bias ratio, but is "reportedly" somewhat weaker than the True Trac. The T2R is available as an option on the new BOSS.:rockon: [B][SIZE="4"]An IRS rebush with the FTBR bushings [COLOR="Red"]will improve traction.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] The stock IRS will toe in from bushing deflection at launch, when the tires are not pointed straight they don't hook as well. I have a True Trac and FTBR bushings but I am no longer into drag racing. I have launched the car a few times to test for wheel hop and to see how it leaves, and I must say the absence of wheel hop is a wonderful thing to experience. [/QUOTE]
