On paper they both have the same specs, so will be good to do a comparison between the 2. There’s a huge price difference between both systems so hopefully the empire system stacks up. Also a little worried about the fitment and clearance mainly around the diff cover area, as the harrop cover sits out a fair bit more
Have a look on YouTube for a channel called Banks Power. He's a blower/diesel guy predominantly but he's currently doing a series of videos about aftermarket diff covers and is very interesting. He's doing actual testing rather than just a marketing speel...
I’d like to go a Eaton truetrac with 3.9 gears and also do the front diff mount anti tramp bushes as well. I don’t really think heat will be an issue with the diff. I only plan on daily driving it and sometimes hitting the quarter mile. The harrop diff cover is also supposed to be machinable for a diff cooler if need be as well.
here is the current tune im running. im really happy with it. i get low 9l per 100k on the hwy but powers still there when i want it. even around town its really good as tcc now locks at around 60km/h when just cruising.
