diff drag racing options?

im running the stock diff in my 93 R1. i have been drag racing it and just went 11.9 at 132mph. and my diff is making loud noises obviously... i was wondering if anyone running the Kaaz LSD if using it in a drag set up? my diff housing and axles have been holding up fine its just to my 2 step LC and drag radials. just wondering how strong the Kaaz really is? ive looked into the 8.8 conversion also but the Kaaz is half the price and the explorer diff are getting hard to find for a good price...

The 87-88 turbo 2 fc lsd is quiter and just as strong as the kaaz. Ive met several people use them successfully in the 10's with no issues. I used one in my car and its solid!

correct me if im wrong but people are having issues with the FD diff housings braking under high HP launches? i have my launch control set but im only leaving the light with about 2-5 psi of boost because im scared i might break something... i want to leave the light with 15psi in the future and i am having a really hard time finding a explorer in the correct year range in the junkyards around here to do a diff swap...

The hpp 2 in 1 diff brace is what i use in conjunction with the lsd swap. I have never broke anything except a stock axle once. After replacing these parts the axles will be the next weak link. That brace helps alot!
