um, a detroit locker on the street is a PITA...unless you are making a good amount of power (say 400 ft pounds of torque), 28 splines are fine, and stock

700 RWHP? If you use slicks to hook all that you may want 33 spline axles, C-clip eliminators and a full spool because that is some serious power.
