If you want adjustable ramps, then Gripper looks like a good option. If you=
 want a no-drama diff, get a Quaife and drive s-m-o-o-t-h.

Scott,
Just my two cents worth (no cash value), but we have a Detroit locker in th=
e TR3 and my wife runs a welded diff in the TR6. I raced both this weekend =
at RA, and frankly don't notice any difference except in the pits or pushin=
g the car. Bear in mind that neither us, nor our cars have ever been descri=
bed as super-fast. I do notice the difference when racing my Bugeye with an=
 open diff, as it lifts the inside rear and loses drive.
