Detroit locker or true trac ?
i have a borg warner 9 bolt diff with 25 spline axles & lsd center that is getting rebuilt as i write this . problem is it will more than likely brake when i run it on the drag strip. i have a 383 b motor stock heads holley street dominator manifold termo quad carb mopar purple cam stock converter pace maker extractors twin 2 1/2 in exhaust hp? car weighs around 3000 lbs , i need a diff strong enough to handle the next motor a 496 stroker with alloy heads & solid roller 600 + hp . in Australia 8 3/4 diffs are almost non existent as i have found out parts take for ever to make it here & cost so much more than over their in the usa . so i more than likely will have to use a ford 9in because parts are available every where . almost all tuff aussie cars have a 9 in . i am thinking about getting a diff built using 31 spline axles disc brakes Detroit locker or true trac center ? gears ? either 3.5 3.7 3.9 maybe 4,10 ? the b motor should go quite well with any of these gears & the 496 should really go & pull some very good mph . it is going to be a sleeper / cruiser i mean i will be just cruising around with other mopars in a pack but when the need be i can really step up to the plate . i will be getting the diff built over in the USA & shipped over , so that makes a 8 3/4 feasible but if anything brakes it will take time to get the bits & not many aussie diff builders work on them . any recommendations will be much appreciated

I have used a true trac in a ford 9 inch for asphalt oval racing and I ran it down an 8th mile to tune for the winternaltions in TX, its a torque sensing diff the rear launched straight even with different height rear tires, I was using all of my oval set up,a regular locker locks both tires equally. My bet would be on the true trac check out the april issue of mopar muscle if you can they built a 8 3\4 with a true trac.
I had no problems with mine and its quiet and you cant hardly tell its there.
