IMO not all that tested yet.
I'd go with something proven although the Titan I heard is cheap.

I run similar power and occasionally use it on track - two standard diffs in two years but number 3 is holding up well.

Good man....
This is why i ask, all these folks going for 500bhp odd they seem to forget about saving pennies for a box....
ok i guess if it's not launched etc it'll last, BUT i wouldn't like to be pushing 450-500 ft'lb through one for long tbh...

On track and road, and works just perfect.
