I dont know which one is the best for my application. I plan to do some runs down the track, but also use the car as a semi-daly driver. Also plan to hit up the twisties more often than the track. Help me decide. Thank you

Don't waste your money throw in a 31 spline track lock from a F-150 or cobra rebuild the posi..restack the plates be done with it. I bought a cobra one on Ebay for 100.00. I ran hundreds of passes with it many in the high 10's low 11's. I know of 2 other cars that have ran 10's with the same set ups. One of them blew up a Eaton and broke his locker first.

no, it cant be built up to become a 31 spline but you can find a 31 spline carrier that will drop right in to your existing 8.8 housing. you can get them from ford explorers for one, im sure there are others.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

the cross pin for a 31 spline is a larger diameter and will not fit the 28 spline's case differential body
