Quaife or Wavetrac Differential?
My differential blew off in my 05 and I am going to upgrade to the "Stage 4" 06+ differential from RPM transmissions. Like the title says, there is two options to choose from: Wavetrac or Quife. My question is, what are the pros/cons of both. Which one would be better? I will be running a 3:42 gear ratio. I would also add that i will mostly be doing drag racing, roll racing, and half mile events; no auto x or road course.

Hey Serg sorry brother those early diffs are weak you may want to change your tranie output shaft so you can use a z06 or zr1 but even a grand sport with a 2.73 gears are good. Is your car manual?
I went with a zr diff cause they are the beefiest weight 10 lbs. more.
