C-series transmission component comparison - LOTS OF PICS

I guess that there is not much to worry about when increasing power on a forged motor. So a C51 should hold 200whp reliably with daily drive and some spirited driving on and off.

Redarding LSDs,what do you guys use more often around here?

I have see there are a few options Kaaz,TRD and Cusco.

I've been eyeballing the Quaife helical for some time now. There is lots of discussion about which is better for which driving style/conditions out there in the interwebs, but for me the main point is maintenance: there's no setup, break-in or servicing for a helical. All clutch types need occasional fluid changes, and may also require clutch pack replacement.

If you want a helical, but not the Quaife price tag, the OBX is a knock-off. There have been quality issues with them, so it's a gamble: save a few hundred on the LSD, potentially trash the whole gearbox. Not worth it for me.

While not widely accepted as a true LSD, I've run Phantom-Grip units for years with zero issues. Have run them in 2 different racecars and 3 different gearboxes, destroyed 1 gearbox when the flywheel exploded. If availible for our cars, these usually run about $300 and come with 2 different spring rates!
