Maybe. People seem to get really concerned when Torsen and slicks are mentioned together. They aren't known for being bullet proof with high HP cars, but I think with our stock power it would probably hold up okay for a while.
 
Yep, I wanted to see the responses first before I mentioned too much in my original post. I am switching to a one piece driveshaft. I want to see high 11's. It would be all stock except for the shaft/slicks.
So for occasional dragstrip runs with stock HP the torsen should be ok, huh ?.....cool!

Torsen diffs are designed for power down in the turn.

Unfortunately they are not a good drag diff. MANY have died drag racing. I have stopped going to the 1/4 mile because of this.

You will be fine using M/T's on the street with your current set up. You will not like how the car goes around corners with those tires though.
