RE: spool or locker?
Spools do not allow the rear wheels to turn at different speeds, they are locked all the time, and really are a track only item. A locker allows you to basicly have a spool when racing and an open diff when not. How much HP and TQ are you making? You probably do not need either of these unless you are above 500rwtq.

I would think a spool type rear end would handle the MOST amount of torque over any other type of gear(?) And yea, don't even THINK of driving on the street with a spool!
