Limited Slip Differential for Road Racing
Limited Slip Differential for Road Racing
Can you road racers tell me if I need a limited slip differential to control wheel spin in my SRT6 race car with good tires, NT01's. With street tires I have very limited traction in 1st. and 2nd. gear, and it resets the traction control unless I'm very gentle on the throttle.

Yes . . . You should get a WaveTrac installed. BIG difference. Do a search on the forum for "WaveTrac" and you'll find LOTS of information.
I have one brand new WaveTrac unit / never installed. Let me know if you're interested . . . You can e-mail me directly at RedDogNumber1@aol.com. Bob Davis

Re: Limited Slip Differential for Road Racing
This is the first time I've heard a complaint about it, would you elaborate? I know the 1/4 mile guys love it but have never heard feedback from a road course driver. What are the downsides? Pardon my ignorance on the subject as I have neither the Wavetrac nor road track time.
Re: Limited Slip Differential for Road Racing
Justin Stevenson and I talked at lengths last night about racing the crossfire and he said exactly the same thing about the WaveTrac. Isn't there another manufacturer of limited slip differentials that work in Crossfires? Quaife or something like that? Any experience with them?
Re: Limited Slip Differential for Road Racing
I'll do some more research, and see what I can stir up. The problem with the WaveTrac on a road course, according to Justin, is that when cornering hard, and unloading the outside tire, the WaveTrac couldn't transfer the torque to the inside tire and adequately reduce the torque to the outside tire to minimize wheel spin. When I have watched the few videos of Crossfires on road course, you can hear them losing traction on the tight corners. See, you straightline guys have it easy:-))
Thanks for your feedback! Have fun!
