MyM8V8 have you fitted the wavetrac???
Discussion
Gareth I'm sure either Ant or I would be be willing to test it for you 
Unfortunately still down the list. The diff is on my bench for assembly still and the ute is having its stroker and trans fitted.
Unfortunately running a small family business and renovating an old farmhouse together with doing up three holdens doesn't leave me lots of time to spare.
I bought my Wavetracs from the Drive Shaft Shop who will likely do you a deal on one.

What does this offer over the standard done, what does it cost and how difficult/easy to fit? I keep seeing references to this and am none the wiser!
Basically it gives you a proper limited slip differential where as the stock LSD is a bit crap and can work nicely or not depending on which way the wind is blowing 
A Truetrac or Wavetrac is a gear based diff and are great for straight line (burnouts) and the odd bit of power sliding whereas if you want a diff to use on track or to extensively power slide or drift then a plate based diff like the Kaaz.
This maybe utter b
ks as diffs aren't my area of expertise so take with a pinch of salt. Bottom line a working LSD allows power to go to both wheels rather than just spinning up the wheel with the least amount of traction.EmmaJ said:

My understanding is the wavetrac acts like a plate diff when one wheel has no power meaning you should alway have traction. A truetrac will still go open in this situation.
The benifit over a plate diff is it will not just lock up with 50/50 to the wheels but vary it as needed. But then if it goes 100/0 it locks to 50/50
