9" limited slip diff question. ok, i have this limited slip (aka here as a posi) that im buying from a friend.
i THOUGHT i was getting a locker.... but it turns out he didnt know the diff between a locker and a clutch type limited slip, he just thought all limited slips for 9" rears were called lockers.
im not a 9" expert by anymeans.. ive done alot of research on lockers over the last few weeks since thats what i thought i was getting. but i dont know where to start on "posi"s
this is what i have.. how strong is it? my entire rear is "bulletproof", fully aftermarket everything for strength, except this posi..... right now, this is going into a cammed daily driver that sees strip duty... but the car will eventually be boosted into the 600RWHP range, and launched hard at full weight...
basically i want to know if i should buy it and use it for awhile, or back out of the deal.. its a friend and i really dont want to back out of a deal with him, but......
anyhoo hers the pics. click to enlarge. they're huge.

Beleive that is a trac loc limited slip, common in a lot of fords. Wont hold up to very much and i severely doubt it will last a few launches in the 600's. Its not a locker by any means so I would back out and have him throw it on ebay or something.

are you saying it will hold 450 as long as you're not dropping the clutch??
or are you saying:
"no, dropping the clutch, it should hold 450"
??
