Is there any other diffs we can use in the C4 some thing like the Quaife or Torsen T2?
I know some people say the clutches in the dana 44 should last the life of the car. But if you race with big tires and have added power your going to have to rebuild your rear end more ofter than you think. Some of the fastest scca solo drivers rebuild there's every year.

not that I am aware of.

high powered drag racers are dropping in Ford 9" rears.

A trick - to help the clutches, use two bottles of diff additive. If things get that intense, add a cooling system.

Thanks Bogus I've seen the Ford 9" switch and that would be a good way to go for the dragracers and even some of the road racers are going that way. I like the independent suspension and was hoping there was a bolt in I have not herded of. Looks like I'll be going to the rear end guy and I don't mean the proctologist.
