QUAIFE! (was Fiberglass Hoods)

[amalventano1@home.com (Allyn)]

    Umm, that IS weird. On a dyno, the differential is not operating in any
kind of slip mode. In theory a quaife would look exactly like a stock diff
(or even a big solid hunk of metal/completely locked diff for that matter).
One thing to consider is that when you put in the quaife you put all brand
new seals in there (long shot i know, but its friction).
P.S. Shawn, you bringin that beast to cincy? I want a pic of it next to the
Rieger.
