You've already got one in the Traction Lok. It's not a great LSD for high power though.

Depends. It's not rated for the sort of power/torque quoted in your sig. If you get traction and put a ton of torque through it then it may break. If you have a "safety valve" in the form of being traction-limited it may survive a long time.

400+hp that tranny will granade, you need to upgrade to tremec or equavilant. guy i run round with has 800hp at the wheels with the trac lok and 31spline axles. that trac-lok holds very well.
