The problem with the wavetrac or any new diff is the price. Not that it's a bad price. I just don't want to spend that much, plus installation, just so I don't break my car. That's just not in the budget.

P.S. Anyone want to buy some drag radials?

 

Thanks for the info 32Krazy. I am a bit confused though. We only have one wheel spinning under our srt-6's? I thought that when one wheel spun, it started turning the other as well(kinda like the old mopar sure grip). I'm tempted to go lay a black mark. LOL

 

the way it works is the computer senses 1 wheel spinning so it applies traction control to limit the spin thus the 2 black marks. if you examine the marks and the rubber in the wheelwell you will see the drivers is darker and more rubber there. its not equal to each side so the lsd fixes it.
tom2112 is it really to expensive? 2k for rims 800 for dual cai 800 for tunes 1k for tires, you get my point. the cost is relative to the fun you want to have with the car. all toys are expensive to some regard.

jim i apologize for jackin your thread!! fellas all the q's on the diff can be asked on the 6 forum

no problem for me , it will just be hard for others to find the info on the rear,,, personly i think the rears are good ,,,(until you try a burn out) or a real hard take off on the street with the traction control on,,, when you leave the TC on and leave hard from a red light , the computer will put the brakes on ,on the tire that is spinning, this after some time will brake something,, because of the jerking back and forth with the (Traction control on) you are puting a lot of strain on the gears ,axles,and the pin that holds all the spider gears, with this last rear i installed i now start my car and turn the traction off, then drive, yes you have to be careful,, the car tries to go sideways when going around a conner and you give it too much gas, on this new rear i have 20 hard runs on the strip and about 100 on the street.
Going back the my PT Cruiser days ,,i had rewired my traction control to stay off, in the ptcrew.com forum there ar about 50 people that broke or bent axles,,, i never did, yet my car was abused more that oll of the others put together,,, 471 runs at the track, over 700 hard take offs on the street , I blew the transmission eight (8) times,,blew the burnt up the turbo three (3) times and wore out six(6) sets or tires,, OH owed the car for six (6) years yet, sold it with 30,000 miles on it, and never broke a axel,./the PT ran 12.9 @ 108 jim

 

That's what I thought about the rear. Ours is what I consider a limited slip diff. It helps limit traction loss by allowing the other tire to help, but it is not an equal distribution, so one does pull harder. With this new LSD, is it a tru posi unit or just have a better distribution between tires and stronger parts? Sorry to ask so many questions about this, but I am not familiar with the company or how this diff would work. Any kind of guarantee with this diff if they make it? Thanks, Chris

 

sorry no chris ours is not a limited slip diff it is a open diff. the traction control hits the brakes on the tire that is going the fastest,, so this make the rear wheels turn at the same speed, this is a lot of torque on the diff, axels and all the gears in the diff. it would be like you start off from your house and one block away put the car in reverce the car slams you foward and then you quickly put it back in drive,, this is how the read feels every time you take off hard,, so i am turning off my T C and see it this fixes it. jim

 

hellfire i have a link to the wavetrac site on the 6 forum under the wavetrac thread. it should answer all your questions.
jim jump on the g/b with us and you wont have to worry!! it will be race city for as long as you can stand it!

 

i though i was already on there ,,i will check of course i want one. jim

 

Oh yeah. I get your point. That means I already spent all my money on other parts!

 

doesnt it suck tom to know you have all this potential power and you cant use it? think of whats out there now to be had in your car.... clk500 v8, sl55s/c v8 and a turbo and now a turbo pushing a s/c with 600 hp potential!!! got to have the diff
