depends on how much whp/tq u have. the s2k's diffs are weak but most track guys are on stock diffs. our diffs will survive if your not launching all the time.

one of the supercharged track guys blew his axle the other day.. his diff is stock... running close to 380hp at the wheels.

around the 400hp range is the time to start looking for a beefier diff i think. drag racing is a whole other story tho.

if you take it easy on the launches then yeah. even with a supercharger the stock diff is fine. theres really no need to launch our car unless youre drag racing.

building up the diff just means that ull blow ur axles instead or some other link in the rear end.

Then you'll beef up the axles and blow your tranny, then beef up the tranny, and blow your engine. It's a viscious cycle

Just get another stock diff. I was making 400whp on my stock diff. Track days, high way pulls still rock solid. You need to watch how you drive. That is key. It suck to hear that but sometimes the truth hurts. Also it could have been damaged from the previous owner.
