Mods are Pacesetter LTs, ported TB, TSP true duals, 3600 stall, shiftkit, tranny cooler, SFCs, 3.73 gears, lid, and a tune. Putting 342/355 to the wheels. I had changed the fluid when I swapped the gears at about 80k. (bought the car at 69,500) And yes, I have gone to the track probably a doen or so times.

Based off of my own experience.

Auburn differential provides full torque figures evenly to both wheels, regardless of traction.
375+375

Torsen differential divides full torque between wheels, based off traction.
~375~


Auburn differential is for a road-coarse car that corners.
Torsen differential is for a drag car that’s fast in a straight line.

Auburn eats tires quick, regardless of how you drive.

My auto Torsen WS6 feels like a death trap liable to fly off the road at any flick of the throttle.
My T56 Auburn Firehawk hugs the road at any throttle position. Planted.
