Title: Diff pegging
Post by: John T on May 02, 2006, 22:18:15: Just been reading how it's done, but I must be missing something because I couldn't see why it is done.

Anyone help please........................................ :?

4L V8 with a few tweaks.... and I've never run pegged diffs... I think it's one of those 'specmanship' things to be honest ;-)
