OK GT500 guys which Differential would you use in your Shelby if you were going to upgrade or rebuild your 8.8 rear end ???
TRUETRAC FTW:banana::banana::banana:
Been there, done that...done that....done that. Tru-Trac. Feel free to email me and ask me why. I don't want to hammer on a product publicly, but that should give you the info you need. I broke 2 (yes, TWO) of something other than Tru-Trac.

Has anyone used a locker? I know noisy but other than that any opinions?
It's like asking if anyone's tried a carburetor on their GT500. 20 years ago, sure, a locker was to go to. Not these days. The Truetrac just does it all better. It's quiet, strong, perfectly driveable, and relatively inexpensive. It's a win-win.
Of the three gear diffs listed, the Truetrac is my top pick. It's very proven. Second would be the Torsen, but only the Boss/GT500 Torsen. And a distant last would be the Wavetrac. I would run that one if it was given to me for free (from personal experience).
I just put the Boss torsen in my 12. It looks like the true trac but more than double the price! Should i have just gone with the true trac?
anybody broken a 13 GT500 Torsen?
For the money, yeah. But for functionality, they're about equal IMO.
I haven't seen one break yet, but I also haven't seen any 9 second cars running one yet, like I have seen with the Truetrac. I think only time will tell if the GT500/Boss Torsen will take the abuse the Truetrac has.
Yeah, nothing quite like one side letting go at 100+ mph during a shift and pointing you toward the wall.I remember your un-named not a Truetrac not a Ford stock Posi diff almost killed you and your car by rear steering.
