Default Road race diff for C5

I'm looking for an upgraded road race diff for my 2002 Z06.

It's running a LPE 427 TT and it looks like the diff is starting to balk at the added stress.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

427 TT? Holy Shmoly

I think I'd be looking to purchase dump truck parts for that kind of power!
Good luck on your runs, she should be a blast to drive.

I believe DTE can hook you up with a diff made to run cooling lines too? REmember reading something to the fact on their website.

I have a DTE Stage II differential in my car and ran it at the Big Bend Open Road Race a couple of weeks ago.

Our Stage III HP differential does include a strategically placed -10 AN cooler line fitting AND a temperature sensor probe fitting that allows the user to install a differential temperature gauge in the car for road racing applications. The rest of the differential is built with a myriad of DTE specifically engineered, proprietary HD internal components in addition to our successful blueprinting techniques. Give us a call for more details or if you have any other questions.


Best Regards,
DTE

Well, John, there's good news and bad. The good news is there was a DRM cooler on the diff. The bad news is it wasn't turned on. I made the assessment that 40 degrees and random snow/sleet flurries at WGI didn't necessitate a cooler. You'd think I'd be getting wiser by this age.
