Does yours just need a rebuild? Looking to change gears?

it needs both, 3.42's suck for acceleration and it needs a rebuild. The zip differential seems like a good deal for what you get, however im a little hesitant because i figured it should cost more unless your just getting junk
that wont last.

I got my 3.08:1 from Ecklers. It came in a Zip box. Go figure. I like it just fine. It's behind 400+ horses.

We build our own diff in house, no middle men. You get new gears manufacture depending on ratio, Timiken bearings, ratech seals and shims. I use new HD 1 st design clutch plates, everything is hot tanked and we also magnaflux to make sure there are no hidden crackes in the carrier itself. It will look brand new when you get it, has a 3 year unlimited mileage warrenty to boot. If you like I can charge you more money. We build diffs for allot of customers and we used to build them for Ecklers, its a long story but we can't build as many as they can sell is pretty much what it came down to. We also build the C4's,5's and 6's including many race cars that run World Challenge, T1, and the Rolex GT series including Daytona 24. Your diff is a piece of cake.
