building a 8.8
Hey all
Im putting together a 8.8 for a s10 build im doing . I need to upgrade the posi unit . Its going to be a daily driver with a few weekends at the track . Im debating on a yukon posi unit or a mini locker . Would the locker have good street manners ? i ran a locker briefly on the street 20 years ago but honestly dont remember how it was . the posi unti of course would prob be smoother but more expensive

Turbo Buick GN engine, ported heads, PTE52 turbo at 23#. Prolly 400 to the wheels and around 600 ft-lbs. My 200R4 will be the weak link, stock except for a shift kit and 3400 stall PI Vig converter...
To be honest you should use the stock LSD from an Explorer which is 31 spline and just use the FORD RACING rebuild kit thats what is in the Cobra ... 100.00 kit is worth the savings and normal drivability.
