Yea i worried about the OBX at first but when i snaped my first axle in half, i knew it was strong mine is also like 3 years old so the new ones might be alittle better and not have to grind down the axle side..

those spyder gears are going to shatter soon and prolly send the pin through the case. the obx works great on a tight budget. mine holds up to over 500whp and my hard launches(i suck at preloading )

the stock ITR diff is about as weak as it gets as far as LSDs go.on sticky tires with any power it will break just like a stock diff.
OBX here for about two years.no problems.i took out an ITR LSD to put it in.
quiafe is nice if you have the money,btu the OBX has been proven to work on plenty of high power cars.


and yes,the LSD will help you.
