my friend ran a similar setup in his s14... he used to go through the helical q45 lsd's left and right... spider gears would shatter.
I would suggest just going to the larger TT setup, although at your goals it would be worth it to invest in a quaife or something and have the ring and pinion cryo treated

Just get higher strength ring and pinion. If you swap in a tt Rear, your gear ill change to a 3.73 vs a 4.10. The gears can cost anywhere form 250-1200 depends what kind you get.

You will have a hard time if at all possible to swap in the TT rearend, it had hicas and the NA bodies do not have the proper "bolt up" for it. Less headache, just strengthen the rear you already have.

so you would just go with the stock NA rear diff and strengthen the ring and pinion never really messed with rear ends as you can tell just motors lol. know any places or shops off top of your head that would sell those parts?

you dont have to use hicas.... its stupid as s*** anyways, just get a lockout/eliminator bar that deletes the hicas system and the tt subframe bolts on like any other.

NA stock gears are 4.10 and TT stock gears are 3.73

Higher numbers give you more low end torque (aka get-up-and-go) but can limit top speed due to rpms (also based on tire height). Not sure if this really affects anything with these cars because the red-line is pretty high. If this is a track cars, especially drag car, then 4.10 gears will be better
