[QUOTE="Chrisandalex1, post: 170979, member: 1671"] We spent about an hour on the phone the other day with 4 of the SVT engineers, including the Head Axle Engineer. We are working as closely as possible with Ford to ensure that this is a seamless process for all of us to be able to enjoy. Anyway, I know there has been a lot of talk regarding the 2012 8.8 being upgraded to handle the Torsen. SVT ensures me that this is not the case. I did not ask about the Cover being changed, but if necessary I will. As a matter of fact, the Torsen can be dropped into the 2011, but would require the ability to change the Brake Traction Control System, and that information will not be made available to us as it is proprietary, and Ford WILL NOT release it. The Torsen will work without changing the software, it just will not behave as well nor function nearly as effective as the Wavetrac. This is what has made the Wavetrac such an attractive solution to me. I would also like to mention that they will develop the package to be a complete drop in. I have not discussed a forum discount for this package, but I would venture to bet that we could get a really sweet price point if we had some orders in place ready to go. Also, I don't expect that this will really require a lot of trial and error. It is pretty straight forward. I am also having some upgraded axles and hubs made, but as you all know, I am just stupid with my money. NO KIDS, AND A WIFE WHO MAKES A BUNCH OF MONEY TOO. [/QUOTE]
