Default 2wd cossie diff

I am running over 500 bhp through my 2wd diff and dont think it will last much more. What is the strongest diff to run and where would be the best place to get one from?
Thanks
Stumpy

A lot go for the jag option, not a simple bolt in though.

in terms of 7.5" diffs, there are at least 3-4 options tat will cope with 500hp. The weak link though is the CWP.

Alernatives are the
*Jag 10.5" (very heavy but can take lots of hp and torque),
*Ford Mustang IRS 8.8" (requires custom fabrication, but is sweeeet -choie of David Godfrey, LINCOLN and me! LOTS of ratios and diff types eg plated, spool, ATB type),
*Ford Motorsport 9" (ultimate, but a little rare to find in the right ratio, plated or viscous),
*BMW diff (requires custom mounts and axles but lots of ratios).
