even if you do the tlok your still going the cheap route by doing it, you dont absoluetly need it but you should get it, are you getting gears to?

Okay I think a t-lok should be fine at 225....I think jthorn told me it was okay up until 300.

no you pretty much need it if youre getting gears. I meant if you plan on hitting 300hp you will need to upgrade to a true-trac

The t-lok will be fine as long as you dont abuse it. Its a ford part, so just like most ford parts, as long as you dont beat on it, you shouldnt have a problem. But you def should get one, or some other LSD. Itll make it so that your car is gettin power to both rear wheels instead of just one.
