Yes, that setup would be a 50/50 split. The only compromise would be the slow reacting (~2 seconds) center VC. So for example, if one end of the car started spinning up the tires, it could take a couple seconds for the center to transfer power to the opposite end. However, with the Quaife LSD up front and the MaxLock LSD out back, you'll be less likely to experience massive wheel spin at only one end of the car.So what would a Quaife front diff, 4 spider center diff and the TRE MaxLock rear diff be like in a road racer?
Is that a true 50/50 split F/R?
You could do it with the trans still installed. Just pop off the fist two sections of the case, swap in the Cusco, check/adjust the preload, and seal it back up. It'd be kinda awkward working with the trans on its side like that, but it certainly could be done.How hard would it be to install the Tarmac Gear at a later date? Does it require a full tear down, or is it simply splitting the cases, removing the 4 spider center diff and dropping in the new Tarmac Gear?
When my car had all stock front, 2-spider center, and rear LSD differentials, it was an understeering pig when accelerating out of a corner. Then my 2-spider center ate itself. So I replaced it with the Cusco Tarmac Gear 35/65, still using the center VC.Scott are you 100% happy with yours? Was it worth the cash ECT.
In this thread there was some talk about using a worn out VC wit the tarmac. I've read about this other places too. Has anyone used or seen the Ralli Art VCU replacement or the clutch style replacement found here.

Seem like some really neat stuff though very hard to find.
With the Cusco, do you still have to run a VC in the center? Or can that be removed?

No, if you lock a tarmac you get 50/50. The 35/65 is only developed through a speed difference in the ouputs.
