ET gains from open to posi or locker?
I did a search on the topic, but came up with nothing useful. I am thinking hard about going ahead and buying an Eaton before I go to basic training..... but I want to make sure that the 400 bucks it will cost(which is a good chunk of my money) will be worth it right now?
Anyone ever go from using a stall on an open diffy to a posi or locker?
What kind of gains?
Just curious if everyone could post their gains.
I do 0-60 in 7.4 right now because I have to baby all the way through first gear and still spin into second. If I thought I could cut it down to 6 seconds I'ld probably order one.

It just depends on how much traction you will gain. I don't have any track times to give you an estimate because I put on more parts when I did the locker, but I would say that if you have to baby it off the line to keep traction then you will get a much better time due to increased traction and decreased babying. Just my .02, I'm sure with a stall it will make a lot of difference.

I guess I'll need some drag radials too, huh?

You only shaved .25 with a stall and eaton?

Did you get that Eaton new? From an ebay company?
What bolt, spline, etc, do I need to know when I am looking for this diffy?

i had my yank 3000 before my Eaton. it sucked. i had to launch in 4WD alot.
after the posi install, i was able get alot better traction. it made the stall more enjoyable. i highly recommend having posi if a TC is in the tranny.
posi and stall are probably the 2 best mods i have done.
