I have never seen a Salisbury for the Spitfire diff.  Have they ever made
one for that application?

I don't know anything about the Yukon, but I can say that the PhantomGrip is
more phantom than grip.  When I tried it, my times did not improve any over
an open diff.  Save your money on that option.

The Quaife does provide limited slip potential but because it is torque
biased, if you break an axle or U-Joint on one side, you lose all drive on
both sides.  So you will be pushing the car off the course.

Jason,

Take a look at these options. Marcel uses the Yukon I believe and the other
lets you convert your diff to a LSD..

I have tried neither but they look like good options to the Quaife.

This diff is going to be used for autox, vintage race, and street....I think
the Quaife offers the best compromise for me- welded spiders would be a bit
too much.

Not to spark a huge debate, but I simply weld the spider gears. It's a
little cheaper. 

Of course the driving style is a little different.
