Diff set up? Last pass of the year blew the rear so pulled it all apart and there is nothing left everything is junk!!! Wat should i do? Should i spend the money and buy one from DTE $3900 stage 4 they say..Or should i buy a stocker and just put the hardend ring and pinion in that they sell? Thanks for all your help.. What im wondering is it worth spending all the money for the stuff they say wont break!!

I have a stg III from DTE with a brace. 3.42 gearing, micropolished gears, cryo treatment, hardened output shafts, and no issues at all. I have about 20 passes at the track and lots of high speed runs on the expressway. I really love the stg III. What does stg IV have the III doesn't and my god has the price of a built rear diff gone up !!

DTE also shot peens there gear sets, where as RPM just cryos and micro polishes theres, not saying that one more process will save the gears but it's not hurting. I guess what we really need is better metal in the gears. We blew a ring and pinion up road racing with only 410 rwhp. So it doesn't take big power just the right amount of abuse.
