Is the True Trac unit strong to handle powerfull cars like above 700rwhp?

Get a 35 spline locker and be done with it, I know guy that went 8's on his that used to work for lenco.

If you're street driving a high power street car and on street tires it's a different story than running a 30x10.5 slick and having 850 hp and dropping a clutch at 6500 rpm.

What exactly is your intended use for the car?

If you drag race and have that much power I think a locker is the only way to go besides a spool.

I was looking at your sig and my plans are pretty close to the same as yours, 800hp pump gas procharger street car, I am going with a spool in mine.

Itīs going to be used on the streets and itīs with a 4l60e so itīs easy on the rear

Iīm trying to find how much hp the true trac can take,i donīt like the idea to use a locker if i can skip it,i would just put a spool in it on the strip

Why don't you like lockers? How would you just put a spool in it at the track, you're going to have 2 separate 3rd members?

Sounds expensive to me.

You're also talking about running 8's down the road in your sig? Thats a pretty mean 60ft to pull that.

Might want to post this in the gears section so you can get a sponsor there to give you a better opinion, being this is the drag racing section I would say locker or spool, if you want detailed differential info on power ratings, I think the diff/gears section will give you the best responses.

I run the true trac have 600 rwhp on a 100 shot and it has not skipped a beat haven't taken't to the track yet though.I also have abud with 2000 ss with the true trac pro charged 6spd making 700 plus rwhp and his has been holding no problem and he has plenty passes at the track.

I had a spool in my SS, and it's getting a tru trac put in it as we speak. A guy around here has a tru trac in his 10 sec Cobra that makes a lot more power than I do...I have only heard good things about a tru trac.


If anyone needs a spool, i have the one thats coming out of my SS. Has a few thousand street miles on it. Came out of a Strange 12 bolt with 33 spline axles..

I ran a Tru-Trac in our Moser 12 bolt and it never blinked. We pulled 1.29 60fts and put the car on the bumper with it. We make 538rwhp/500rwtq. The car has ran in the high nines with a 3.90 gear.

This is with a 4L60E also. I was very impressed with the Tru-Trac. I'm not sure if you are using RWHP or FWHP calculations,but I felt like I was pushing the limits of the Tru-Trac.

If you are full weight and pushing 700 rwhp, I'd opt for a spool. It'll handle some street use with a street tire that will give. Traction should not be expected on the street anyway with a 4L60E low 1st gear.

I'm not trying to talk down about the true trac, but you're talking about making 800+rwhp and going drag racing...

Who has 800 rwhp and runs one? personally I think a locker is the way to go.

Don't fear the spool man!
I have one and it's nowhere as bad as I thought it would be.
Especially in the rain!

I got caught in the rain once unfortunately...

Spools all the way! Im gonna run one this year. Drive the car occasionally daily style. We'll see how that pans out!

I'd go with a locker. Obviously you plan on driving this a lot as you're sticking with the 4L60E. The only time you'll notice you have a locker is around turns. It'll make a clicking / clacking noise. Other than that, no problemo and it'll hold pretty much anything you throw at it.

I donīt like the idea to park a car with a spool lol

Itīs a lightweight car so if the truetrac can hold up iīll use that but yes,locker is the stongest just want to use the TrueTrac for a DD

when I think 700hp and rear-end selection, fighting for a parking space
at the local supermarket don't exactly come to mind
deciding factor, but to each his own

I drove my 65 nova on the street and was able to park it no problem, I had 33x16.5 slicks on mine with a spool and 4,500 stall, and with a slightly stretched wheel base of 114.5 it still wasn't hard to park.

Now when it comes to u-turns well those don't go so well with a spool, I had to do 3 point turns when I made a u-turn. 33x16.5 slicks don't slip as good as a street tire wheel when you turn with a spool.

I'll bet you one thing, you won't break a spool with 800hp, now running 800 hp on a true trac and street driving and drag racing also, I'd personally not feel 100% safe going that route.

Here is a photo of mine so you can see I'm not talking BS, I drove this car for a few years on the street and raced it almost every weekend on private roads of course

you do need to remember that driving with a spool and having a soft tire in the rear is alot different than if you have a street tire. A slick, or similar, will absorb most of the 'shock', but a street tire will not. And you will get alot more vibration compared to having a slick, or something with a soft sidewall.

I know iīm strange but i donīt want to build a high Hp DD and have compromise in the rear end and driveability

Yes i would drive it on low profiles so the Spool is not fun at the local supermarket lol

Trutrac... a friend has one with +800Hp and still holding up fine

on a soft tire, a spool isnt bad at all.... my wife hated the spool with the nitto's, thats why the tru trac is going in

You're at a point where I wouldn't recommend a Truetrac, and I don't like the way a locker causes the back of the car to wiggle around either. If it were me I would go with a spool. It is cheaper, weighs less and has less rotating mass. Bob
