I recently broke my tranny and it damaged my quaife lsd. I'm going to sent it back to get warrentied and I'm thinking about getting a TCI or Prodrive spool. Is the spool any better for drag racing and how would a spool be on the street?

 

quaife is way better on the street, spool sucks..... strip only....

They suck on the street man. I didnt think it would be that bad, but it definately is. Good for racing tho.

 

I wouldnt use one, unless I had too. If you break an axle, you'll have your hands full with the spool.

 

I am going with a spool but i don't care how the car drives on the street. also i am too broke to buy a quialfe

 

hey Richmond makes a new diif for hondas. you check those out.

 

The richmond is the one that i am probably going to get my father loves richmond gears and drivline components that is all he has ever used in his racecar and now his T bucket so i am going to go with that. They are priced right also

 

maybe this is a good time for me to ask how a spool works. I honestly don't know. Thanks

Pretty much to keep this simple.
A spool is a solid piece of metal that replaces your diff or lsd. No give at all. Both wheels will always be spinning at the same rpm unless you brake an axle or something else catastrophic happens to you drive train.

 

like stated above spools STUCK on the street. For a street car i would go quaife

 

i run a spoool.. dont listen to them they prolly never had one on the street becuase it doesnt bother me that much .. i kinda like it ..

 

its like having a welded diff. if an axle breaks you are in for the fight of your life.

 

What's the price difference between a spool and a quaifie?

 

I have 3 broken axles... and if you just let off the gas it doesnt do anything... all going down the strip..

 

Quaife Spools are a pain in the ***, especially if you gotta TURN, hehe Who wants to launch break an axle and run into the wall anyways???

</TD></TR></TABLE> probaly have 3 broken axles from driving on the street with a spool, hell in the pits my car feels like it is gonna pop a axle out the side when turning with a spool. I mainly run a quaife, but when we have to throw a tranny together in a hurry we have used spools to get down the track and they are a last resort, dont have the money for 3 quaifes to have spare tranny's

 

spool's are not legal for the street class in most of the sanctioning bodies. so if you are intending to use one , you will be racing in the pro class.

 

Are spools legal in NDRA?? that is what i will mainly be running in.

Also any more word on NHRA outlawing them for street class?

 

what about phantom grip hehe.
