My Superformance came with the Ford 8.8 limited slip. One of the Superformance half shafts blew apart at the splines in the rear end. I purchased the Detroit TruTrac to put in the 8.8 housing with the 3.73 rear gear. I also switched to a light weight flywheel. The combination seemed pretty good for regular driving around town with moderate acceleration out of corners with also keeping nice control if the back end needed to be correctd a bit. It also would hold a straight line on hard acceleration with traction or even if traction was comprimized at one wheel or the other. The video in my signature is using the Detroit TruTrac at the drag strip with an off idle start. The light weight flywheel has less rotating mass, perhaps for quicker correction as well as better stick at hard shifts.
