I may be wrong but it will work just have to use HPtuners to delete it out.

What's the benefit of changing out to this diff? It seems like the ediff is pretty sophisticated and I haven't heard of a bunch of failures with people doing big hp mods. Just wondering what the application is.

this was done on a z06. no we did not have to use hp tuners to delete anything. absolutely no diff in driving just know it wont break as there are no more spider gears.

Your stock gears are your axle will brake before this piece will. If you are doing dig's & drag this is what you need. Robert
