Default Stronger differential other then Comptech housing?

So the Comptech housing that I ordered 2 weeks ago isn't coming in. The company we ordered it from didn't inform us they just decided not to charge us. I'm disappointed but I really want to get my gears in. What can I do to strenghten the differential of an ap2? i was planning to do the Comptech so I can beat on it a little. Suggestions welcome.....

I'd be interested to hear too...but I imagine there is not much out there. I would not be surprised if one of our vendors decides to fill the vaccum left by Comptech on some of the items they sold...like the reinforced diff caps.

You could have it cryo'd. I run an 05 dif in my 02 without the comptech piece, cryo'ed with 457's. I beat the ...out of it.

Jcarlton on here does that stuff. Not that expensive.

Yes... The housing itself is what breaks. I changed over to an 05 dif and prop shaft. There's already a tempering change in the 04 and later housing but cyroing makes it 4 to 5 times stronger. The dif's I have seen broken have a broken housing. The comptech piece doesn't help that.

Like I said I'd ask Jcarlton, he's an expert on cyro. I think it works very well and I have a lot of hp.
