Either way, even a basic helical diff is going to be transformative on that car.

JV do you know anyone who has actually had the MFactory clutch-type diffs? If they're on par with Blanton and Dan's diffs in terms of noise then I'm sold. I just don't want the thing clunking and screeching like a cat in a fan belt every time I go to the store to buy groceries. |

No, but there is no reason they should be louder.

Here's another user claiming the wavetrac acts like any other helical http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/...-others-at-all. |

That said, I would not pay extra for a wavetrac vs. a regular helical.

Seems like the MFactory helical is what we're going to try?

I'm mostly finding people complaining about the MFactory clutch-type diff. I'm going with MFactory helical unless they convince JV that their clutch diff is tolerable on the street. |
