Rebuild Trac-lok vs Torsen upgrade

I keep saying the S197 platform is perfect for most of us. It's stupid simple, works, hard to break and easy to fix. It's the automotive equivalent of the anvil.

The S197 chassis really is a sweet spot for power/weight/complexity/speed/cost.

FWIW, a few extra thousandths on the back lash will help the heat issue as long as you don't do high RPM first gear starts. That would result in something called pinion slap.
