I also heard there was a certain year diff casing that was much stronger than even DTE braced casings.

I've built a few C5 and C6 IRs assemblies with Lingenfelter 300M shafts and I have yet to see a differential case break. As far as I know noone is producing a spool yet. Probably to low of volume to even think about something like that.

Yeah, if any y body owners are to the point of needing a spool, they've probably already backhalved the thing and put a solid axle back there with the trans in front and a regular driveshaft.

I wish Quaife would make diffs for the solid axle f bodies as well. Their stuff is top quality, and STRONG. It would be more bias than a Truetrac (and probably the T2R, for that matter), with as much strength (and stronger than the T2R).
There also would not be a waiting list for them like the T2Rs!!
