Parish, during your 90mph burnouts, what is going on back there? 2 wheels spinning or 1?

stock tires have to help it survive.
one other thing i never do is even try to get it to hook around a corner. i know it wont do it. i am always in a strait line when i hit it. maybe that is why it is holding or i am just lucky.

An otherwise fairly non-moving part(spider gears on their carrier) start to wizz along pretty good, and since there are no bearings associated with this sub-assembly, one is relying on a film of oil to keep things in check.

a real locker would be so much fun but no quicker so i haven't upgraded yet.
it does lock above 20mph. i often do a burn out starting at 40-60mph and it fishes around a little and leaves 2 marks.

All I can say is Congrats! You have got the worlds strongest G80
when you finally swap it out, Eaton might want to take a look at it

i am running the g80 and spray out of the hole to low 13's. so far so good. i just have to remember to not shock the unit when doing a burnout or i get a one wheel peal.

when you go to do your burn out at the track, don't try to give it all she has right off the bat. kinda ease into the throttle till the tires start to spin then apply more pedal till you have a nice burn out going.
