I like the Torsens. They're a bit more expensive, but I think they're a lot smoother than some cars that I've been in with Auburns. Eatons are pretty good too. Eaton makes mostly OEM parts so they may not be able to take the power from a Speedpro Procharged car.

the lock rite is as good as a full spool at the strip. I need 31 spline axles so I need a new diff anyway...I just thought I'd go with someting a little quieter for the street.
