I used the 31 spline trak-lok,for about a year and a half on the street.
Dart block 427, stick car. Had no problems. Using a spool now.
So what’s the pros to the T2 not having springs or clutch. Better torque I’m guessing or no maintenanceSeen claims of the track lok being good to around 700hp, but I truly don't think it would last at that level with regular abuse.
I have been running one for about 7 years on a 331 with about 100 passes on it.

Well,it's not for everyone. And forget about driving in the rain.How the drivability?

You can also read dangerous, and extremely hard on every part of the drive train after the engine.
The purpose of clutches in a traction loc differential is to be tight enough hold both axles in a coupled state when driving straight, but still be able to slip, or uncouple when turning or going around a corner. Eliminate that necessity with a directly locked diff like a welded rear, or a spool, and you'll have an accident waiting to happen.
Help one of your friends at the track that has a spool and a set of slicks push his car around a corner, or try to turn the car from a stop and push it......it don't go. Drive the car on the street with a spool and a set of drag radials, or slicks and turn a corner...You'll be thinking to yourself " that can't be good" when you hear all of the popping, clanking and screeching noises made by the rear, driveshaft, and the tires, as they fight to help that inside tire spin at a different speed than the outside tire.
Then,...for the absolute best experience anybody can have in a car while driving......drive the car in the rain with a locked rear on a twisty road.
Better have an up to date AAA account.
I'm speaking from experience...I've had several street/strip cars that were built more for the strip that were driven there on the street..it's just another compromise that you'll make that will guarantee that there'll be a trailer, and a gutted interior in your cars future.
Didn’t want to start a new thread but still a rear end question. Are any of y’all running c clip eliminators? If so how do you like them? Do you have to cute the axle tube? Or is getting 9” ford housing Ends better???
