Ok guys, now two of my 4 Grand Nationals have Ford 9" rear ends. In the Stage car, I opted to go with Moser's new Wavetrac unit which is supposed to hold up mega HP and has a lifetime garauntee. It also drives like a usual posi rear end with smooth transitions around curves but once you nail it, it'll essentially acts like a locker. I like this center section very much but I'm not willing to dish out the major $$$$ for another one.
So that brings me into a dilema becuase I need a center section for the other car. It currently has an exploded center section with a spool. The aluminum third member gave out and took out the rear end, exhaust, trans, and motor. This time around, I'm not f'ing around with the aluminum garbage and will definately go with a Nodular iron third member.
But I'm on the fence on what to use in the rear end. I'd like to keep the spool. But I plan to drive the car frequently this year so I dont want one because of the poor street manners. Now if I just go with a True Trac (basically a standard posi), how well do these hook at the track? Anybody having good straight launches and making good numbers with one? Or how about a Detroit Locker? I really would rather not have one because of the clicking and poor cornering but I know they work at the track and can be driven on the street. But, how do you guys that run one like it one the street? Is is something that you'll never do again?
