Ok let me just start out by saying that I know very very little about Rear Differentials!
What I do know:
* I currently have 8.0" 3.00 Gears (Non-Lock) in my car (Stock)
* I have 8.0" 3.80 Rear Differential (Non-Lock) (Spare I picked up cheap)
* My current Differential works fine no issues
* I will soon be going with taller tires on the rear (26" Probably)
What I want:
* Both tires to spin or grab really!
* More low-end as I really never need to go over 110
* To try to keep the $$$ Down but I do have some money to spend
* Run down the track a couple of times but will mostly be on the street
So now what do I do? Can I use the 3.80's? Are they going to be steep enough with the 26" Tires? How do I get/make a locking rear-end? Is this something I should have a shop do since I have never worked in this area before? Maybe I should just buy an entire Locking Differential with the gears if it will be a lot of hassle?
Also maybe somone knows of a good website where I could educate myself? I have looked but I am unable to find any that really help!
I hope someone can help,
Chad
