    Found this just in time as I ordered my QC from Cornhusker last week.

    Thank you - I'm sure I'll be referring to this soon for my Ford 34 3W Coupe build :)

    HemiDeuce, Thanks for this thread. I know that it's 16 years old, but I'm building a Winters quick change same as you did. I have been studying this thread & your pics for reference & wanted to thank you for starting it & all the information that has been put out on it so far. Bill

    Have a VSE Cobra replica which I originally bought to use for autocross. It has an aluminum 350 chevy block built up to make plenty of torque. The rear end is a solid axle Winters with limited slip. I am wondering if it is possible to adjust the amount the slippage to make it safer to drive on the street. The limited slip is so aggressive that if I let off the throttle in a turn the car wants to spin out very strongly. Winters does not respond to my questions. I suspect they really don't have anybody there who really knows my rear end.

    Anybody here who knows about them or someone who would be able to?

    Does Winters have more than one limited slip? Be good to know.

    @t walgamuth,
    Which type of Winters QC do you have? The larger ones have a variety of differentials and some can be tuned up for your application.
