    From Ace, " GotDart, your definition of the Powertrax is wrong. It locks the axles in straight line, allowing "differentiation" in turns, when the gears overrun: "It works something like this: During typical driving conditions, a Lock-Right–enhanced differential allows your axles to turn at...

    Truth be known, unless you’re building a big-block or a full-race small-block, that lowly 8-1/4 is good enough. There are some guys who prefer a totally built 8-1/4 in drag racing situations because it’s lighter and there’s less reciprocating mass, so more power hits the tires. And because...
