Locker vs. Wavetrac -- Need advice Plan on ordering a MWC9 soon and need help choosing between the locker and Wavetrac. Estimate low 700s rwhp with new combo on a 200 shot. Weekend / street car with three or four track days a year. Is the Wavetrac worth $450 more than the locker? Is there any real performance difference between the two? Is the locker less driveable, even with the auto?
If i would have had more cash i would have gone with the wavetrac. the locker seems to have a decent reputation for strength. i can tell you right now i dont like the locker on the street. it sucks. im just gonna have to get used to it because of the nice price i got it for.
Why does everyone pass right by the Trac-Loc. Silent and nice two wheel peel and from what I read here they take the power just fine. I like mine! I wouldn't do a locker though. Maybe a spool if anything.
a trac loc isnt rated for much above a 2500 rpm launch. the locker is more. and the wavetac is LIFETIME warrenty.
i went with the wavetac. i had the money. and i want to keep my abs and traction control.
also had three friends with lockers lock up on an on-ramp. they all had to have body work done.

I am honestly thinking about coining up and going with the wavetrac over the locker. What HP rating are the wavetracs good for?
The reason everyone skips them is that they suck *****. People break them with cam only cars under a hard launch. Being a 6 speed car puts a lot of strain on them.

Another bad thread of incorrect info. Eric posted about the Trac-Loc never breaking with the billet cover. Not my info his! As for me I launch mine well over 2500 RPM but I am an auto. I think info posted in this thread on them is from people that have never used one. Part of why internet info sometimes sucks and you have to weed through it.

Are you guys talking about legitimate lockers, or that Tru-trac crap?
If it was between a tru-trac and a wavetrac, I'd go wavetrac. If it's between a Locker and a Wave-trac, my decision would be much tougher..

can't loose with deciding on a locker. been in my car since 2004 and has survived 7200+ rpm clutch drops with the nitrious on. and the ONLY thing i have done since the install is change the oil twice. i'd suggest 35 spline axles too
