Is there an advantage to one or the other?

A torsen is more stable cornering and I think is rebuildable but is more expensive. The Auburn cone type is cheaper but not rebuildable but lock right away even turning. I don't know if it was stock but when I put gear in my buddies 95 Z-28 it had an Auburn in it. We put a torsen from an S-10 SS with 4.10's (the auburn ratched bad) and he doesn't like the torsen because it won't do posi doughnuts because I think you have to go straight before it locks up.

I have an Eaton posi in my 69 Camaro with a 12 bolt and 3.73s.
On a 150 shot and a 475 horse 383 I spray out of the hole and my best 60 foot is a 1.55 and I've had no problems. I didn't know that you could get an Eaton for a 10 bolt. If you can I would.
