Hot Rod
New Member
I have signed up with this forum because I believe there are experts out there who can give me advice please ( 1st post )
I have had Commodores in the past , but not currently owning. I am building a hot rot and decided to use a BW rear out of the earlier Commodores, this one from a VN. It's only an open centre 3.08, but after two engine change of mind I now agonize that it will not be strong enough.
First question is --- how much stronger is an LSD over the standard diff centre ? I know how an LSD works, but if I'm not spinning wheels or doing burnout / dragging does the LSD still provide some extra strength ?
Secondly, if the centre does go bang, what would be the most street friendly replacement centre ----
KAAZ
Detroit True Trac
I should mention the engine will be approx 320HP ( 240KW )
What are your suggestions please.
