    they will not blow up like a eaton....lol, but anyways, i have seen people go 10s on them, you just need to get the kevlar clutch kit and a new spring with a hardened shaft..

    A 31 spline T-lok is a good unit, they are plentyful and easy to rebuild. My dad has run one in his mid 11 second 91GT for years with HARD launches and he hasn't had any issues with it. I run an eaton but I bought it before I knew they had changed their case designs and were prone to exploding under a hard launch. I haven't had any issues but I don't clutch drop it on launch either. I'm putting the newer style carbon fiber clutch packs into my '94 cobra's stock 28 spline traction-lok right now, but this car doesn't need 31 spline axles as its not a drag oriented car.

    yah Mike the eatons are fine, i am not a huge fan of them for street use... I really like the t-locks on the street..
