Default difference

Everyone is always endorsing the Detroit T-lok. whats the difference from that to Ford Racing T-Lok Differential(beside the price tag)?

It's a lot stronger which allows for more hp transfer to the ground and it will last longer.

Damn, look at all the bad info. The Ford T-Lok was designed to handle roughly 300 rwhp, after that they would have a tendency to shatter under the pressure. They're good up to 250, but after that they get a little iffy.
