If you have an ls1 powered car and it is a factory rear, it had either an auburn (cone type) or torsen (torque biasing type) differential in it. If you lift both back wheels with a jack and spin one forward, if the other spins backwards, it is a torsen. If it spins forward (or if the car is in gear, it won't spin at all) it is an auburn. www.torsen.com has good info on the torsen type. Good luck!
