POWERTRAX No-Slip Traction System I saw this product on Horsepower TV this past weekend and it sounded like a great concept. Its basically a combination of a spool(Locker) and a limited slip. When you accelerate hard in a straight line the system locks both axles but when your going around a turn it unlocks and allows the outside wheel spin faster. Has anyone used this in there car? Will it create more stress on my rear? What performance gains will I see?

Power trax lockers kick as in off road vehicles, but I would not recommend them in a street car. Especially in your 10 bolt. I've run them for years in my jeep, but I would do an Eaton or Auburn limited slip for a street ride.
Like a true locker, the no slip will disengage when no power is applied to it. The problem is that it has no idea if you are going around a curve or pulling out of a parking lot or accelerating in a straight line. Touch the gas and it locks like a spool no matter what.
