It is a Phantom LSD from Howell Automotive... I like the price.... and now I can eat up BOTH front tires at the same rate :)

Just looking for input from anyone...

It's cheaper than a Quaife.

It won't take as much power as a Quaife.

It's a metal-on-metal locking differential - it wears on itself.

it WILL decrease 60' times.

It WILL increase traction.

It WILL NOT help in cornering, as it is not a true LSD.

It WILL NOT last as long as a Quaife.

It WILL NOT make you see colors, as it is not a true LSD.

For $300, it's a good buy. It won't last forever, and it's not the best there is, but it's much cheaper that a $1200 LSD, even though it may end up going through your bellhousing. (If you're making 350+ wheel HP like Armond or Bill Hahn Jr.)
