Looking for a Torsen posi out of a newer camaro. Preferably the 3.42 carrier. It will need to be shipped since i moved .. Sad

You can also use the 3.23 carrier since it's 3-series as well. If you haven't bought the gears yet, they do make high ratio 3.42, 3.73, 4.10 gears that will fit on a 2-series carrier if that's all you can find.

I got a 3-series Torsen just the other day for $100 shipped with less than 50k on it. I was told and have heard from others that a Torsen is not great for drag racing since it's a torque biasing differential, but if you want to do autocross and road race type stuff with them, they're great.

I had a Zexel and tried to autocross with it. In a tight corner with race tires on it was as bad as an open diff. When you unload the inside tire the Zexel won't lock up.

Get an Eaton if you want to turn corners. That's what I have now.

Well thats a bummer then.. I want to drag and autocross a little, but sounds like its not a very good diff for them. Crap. I just wanted something stronger than whats in it now. But I can't afford an Eaton or any aftermarket 400 dollar diff. Even used their expensive.
