Default reasonable price for a strengthened Diff

Hi,

What is a reasonable price for a strengthened front differentieel which can handle 450 hp without breaking down, and is this worth considering as an upgrade for use on my ford
sierra cosworth 4x4 with 325 hp.
The differential has a thicker body and a reinforced plate between housing and cover (Ford Motorsport) and is very rarely used in rallying.
Thanks Bart,

Thanks Bart,

Not too sure but iirc a Quaife thick wall front diff is around £900

front diff strenghtening plate is a good cheap mod at around £50

Kev is yours in a thickwall casing ?
|Up to around 400 bhp i would rather a standard diff in a thickwall casing, if you can afford to do both.
