Well there was 2 different models in '84 with limited slip rear ends. The GSL and the GSL-SE.

RX-7 12A '84 3.9
GSL-SE '84 4.077 thru 11/83
GSL-SE '84-5 4.083 12/84 up

It depends alot on how hard you are on it, and how sticky your tires are. If you plan on drag racing it alot, you might consider other alternatives. Thought, I do know of several on the board with a lot more power, and about that much torque that are running the stock rear end, they've probably broken a few, are easy on launching, and aren't using slicks.

It is pretty strong, for a 7" ring gear.
