ok its time for some type of tranny work on my race car for this year here what i got a stock type-r tranny with stock lsd and im shooting for 500whp in my hatch and ive heard the stock lsd's start to brack after about 350/400whp so i was thinking of running a spool but i would be driving this thing on the streets to get it to the dyno and just crues not alot but mybe once or twice to see the ricers around here lol could you run a spool on the street or would it just be way to hard on everything ? thanks

 

Spools are very dangerous for street use. In the event of a broken axle your in for a hell ride, plus the put alot of stress on the axles when turning. Go with a Mfactory or Quafie LSD for street & track use.

 

well i would like to get 100% power to both wheels but i dont want to brack axles just cuz i wanted to cruies whats the deal on the wavetrac ??? any good or whsts the best lsd for the buck?

 

I would go with any of the three Lsd, all are good products.

 

Not really. I have alot of buddies running spools on the streets. They make it hard as hell to turn a FWD car at slow speeds or tight turns.

 

do you get a ton of chatter or where the tire scrubs bad on a semi tight turns? i've been in a mustang with a welded diff, and the inside tire would squeal and jump around, lol.

 

You will hate a spool. Just do it right the first time with a good lsd.

 

i have driven a spool on the street & its a real pain in the A$$, the tires to tend to chirp around tight corners. also the car will pull like hell to one side. when an axle breaks.. (10 times worse than "torque steer" )

 

a spool on the street is a bad idea, if you only going to make 500whp put a lsd in it you'll be glad you did.

+1 on spending the cheese on a LSD.

 

For $795 why not get a Wavetrac that can stand up to high horsepower applications, installs just like a factory diff, and has a lifetime warranty? For driving around on the street it is ideal, as it mimics the factory open diff until you start to slip or lose traction on one or both tires. No wrestling with the steering wheel on the street to get where you need to go like with a spool!

Is wavetrac's warranty the same as quaife's? Meaning racing included?

 

Lifetime warranty, for road racing, drag racing, autocross, street driving you name it. All you have to do is hang onto the receipt/sales invoice that you purchased the wavetrac from (ourselves or one of our authorized dealers) and be sure the diff is being installed in a transmission it is intended for (no B16 diffs in a D-series era transmission, obviously)!

 

nice...I'll have to pick one up.

 

a spool sucks *** even just at the track.never use one umless you have too.
BTW- i have a b16 wavetrac for sale
