Bandit1 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Very interesting. I have wondered myself about the difference. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 That's good to know. I had been told that the torsen was not a good choice if you did any driving on the street. This tells me the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Very educational, good conversational piece. Thanks Swede. I thought that most people like myself had no idea what the Torsen differental really was. I stumbled upon this info in a Corvette Forum asking what the differental really was.

AndyGJ Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is it possible to upgrade the limited slip diff that we have to the Torsen diff? Cost prohibitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT0547 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is it possible to upgrade the limited slip diff that we have to the Torsen diff? Cost prohibitive? Ford Racing Parts lists them for around $1,000... And YES, I do believe you can switch out the units from the standard clutch packs... http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=12944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say if I would do it on a stock SGT? Not sure if it would make any difference with only 325 HP and stock width tires? But there is one on my 444 HP BOSS with 285's on the rear... From what I have heard, the TorSen is more suited to the road courses... Whereas the LS is better for the drag strip and straightline acceleration events... Not an "expert" on differentials, but that is my story and I'm sticking to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just that it's a better performer, but also far more durable. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I ordered my Boss with both options even though I have a set of 2012 leather GT500 Recaros because I wanted this rearend. I may even take out the cloth recaros in my future Boss and put in the Leather ones just cause leather feels so much softer in the corners.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickshelby Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Optional on the 2012 & 2013 BOSS 302 (In the same pkg as the Recaro seats). Standard on the 2012 & 2013 Laguna Seca Available on the 2013 GT500 (first time on the GT500). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boss Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Don't forget you will save money on friction modifier during diff fluid changes with the Torsen! No clutches, no F.M. needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Would it do any harm to add friction modifier to the torsen diff? The rear seals went out and in the Boss supplement manual it stated to add 5 ounces of friction modifier so it was added. Should we drain the fluid and add new fluid without friction modifier?
