DTE makes a rear diff for whatever level of performance you are looking for. If you look on the list of sponsors you will find them. What kind of Hp/Tq are you making. I have the stg III in my c5 that makes 490/445 to the rear wheels. Seems to take whatever I dish out. Holding up very well. Might want to consider the DTE brace as well. Helps sure up the weak link back there. Good luck.

Like, the actual limited slip unit? Or the pumpkin?
If your talking about changing the actual LSD to something else, then I can give you some bits of info. I've got a stage 5 DTE, 3.73, with a Quaife LSD that I had put in.
DTE offers a whole shebang variety of rear ends that build upon the stock style.

RPM has a much faster turnaround on corvette rear ends right now. Mine took two weeks to ship to my tuner, another customer ordered a DTE over 6 weeks ago and still waiting.
