Default Anyone running a locker w/ a 6speed?

Just got a call back from the guy building my rearend. He said that I cant have a posi unit in a "9 w/ 35spline axles. I would have to drop down to 31 (no thanks). But he did say we coupld run 35's with a locker or a spool. I dont want to go the spool route because the car will see alot of road time. Does anyone out there have a locker with a six speed that can give me an idea of what its like on the road? I am a little concerned about the torque steer that the locker will make everytime I have to shift.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I rode briefly with Fireball in his car. Kinda loud going around turns.

I don't get any torque steer on shifts but if you let off the gas and coast and hit the gas again you can get the infamous "twitch" which is what I think you're referring to.

it clunks, its brutal but its STRONG <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

twitch = a slight side to side shift of the rear as the locker locks.
