I did alot of reading on this, the best ones out there according to alot of peoples opinions is the Eaton, or the Detroit Trutrac..... I went with the D.Trutrac due to here lately they were getting great reviews and because they dont have any clutches...

No noises from a true tac and very strong. I will never buy another eaton. The eaton is good, but not this good .

I have heard nothing but good **** about eaton. Auburn is good to.Thats what we run in my dodge(900hpchevy) When we was doin the set up for our street/strip car i heard a lil bit of bad stuff on the detroit. But that was on a locker detroit. If there is enough power to it, and one side or the other leaves and your ***** out there is a big prob.you will make a right or left turn. But that is with alot of power.

I got the Tru Track and won't be looking back. It works great! Why would you want clutches to slip? The Tru Track is all gears. That's gotta be better. www.ringpinion.com
