how do i make my rearend a full posi

You will wonder why the rear tires are squeeling around turns and wearing out so fast. That is why the differential was invented.

i run a spool on the street. its not that bad. its just kind"ve annoying going around sharp turns slowly the inside tire churps a bit 🙂

How often do you drive it on the street? Everyday in any kind of weather including rain, snow, etc.?

Most people that tell me they have a spool in their street car, have a "street car" that they just drive to the drag strip on the weekends. And very slowly at that because it's really not a street car.

no mine is a real street i drive it everyday to work in the rain snow ect. amd to the track on the weekends 🙂.

Do your tires wear down quickly.......could you street race with spool in...

Yea its obviously going to wear down tires slightly faster. As far as racing, straight line is awsome. Going around turns is a little different but once you get used to it its no problem. Honeslty once these cars go slide ways they dont really do anything fast, do to a long wheel base so "drifting" isnt really that hard but I dont really have to many problems with that anyways.

Quite honestly if you can afford a locker or a posi unit it is the better choice. I was cheap and I got my spool for like $60. welding the rear end from my stand point is out of the question. applying heat to a hardened gear makes it soft, causing it to prematurely fail. and depending on were it fails at you might be buying a new quarter panel along with a new carrier and gear set up and maybe even a new housing. and i know people are gong to say they have done it and it works great. But will it for you??

So what mini spool do I need to get....how many spline on the stock 7.5 79cutlass rear.??

 

[MD13ailey]

i believe it is 26 spline. i got my spool new off ebay. quick performance has then for pretty cheap though
