Grant 302
basic and well known psychic
TymeSlayer said:Grant, I've been watching this item for the past year and a half and had originally seen pricing over 1K. Now I started seeing them running for $850-$950. Then I ran across it from Buy Ford Racing from DPM for $799 shipped and pulled the trigger. I suppose getting it at such a decent price only added to my concern that I got the right part since it didn't look like the one pictured. Thanks to those who helped me get confirmation that I did indeed get the right OEM Boss Torsen for my 2012.

That's a nice price! I haven't been looking lately, but it looks like all of the Torsen prices have dropped.
I remember finding something in my research that you are better off with the Boss diff over the older 4:1 unit for track use and particularly slicks.
found it:
Torsen said:"The unit found in the current BOSS Mustang would work best for your vehicles.
That particular unit was designed to be more robust because of the Laguna
requirements. Will you be running slicks or street legal slicks on you cars?
The reason for the question is that the Torsen needs to slip in order to
function properly. Slicks tend to prolong the point of slipping so much so that
the impact torque sent through the Torsen to the other tire is of a larger
magnitude than what the unit was designed for in the first place. Enough of
these high torque spikes and the unit will prematurely fail.
Thanks for the question and interest in Torsen!"
