Default AWD traction

I’m planning on running 500 crank HP and AWD
i have factory (govenor bomb) G80 rear. Should I upgrade to Eaton style rear differential.
If so, is anyone running the cheap “monkey grip” from eBay. LOL
also with only 500hp do you think I will need caltracs ?

RCSB if it matters…

Detroit Truetrac is what I run. I’m not running Caltracs on my Z71 and I’m above that power level. I barely spin the fronts on a hard launch with street tires.

Ha! I guess I respond to most of your questions. It just helps that I’ve been down the road you are headed towards!

The Truetrac may not be absolutely necessary, but the money you would spend on the Caltracs would be much better spent on the Truetrac on a 4wd/awd.

I don’t. I work too slowly on my stuff. People would get too bored!
