Torsen or auburn

Recently my differential has taken a shit and i want to replace it.
i want to know wat is better and what the prices look like. i need something that will last that is y i dont want to fix it instead i want a new one. The aim is for my bird to handle 400-500 rwhp in the future so i need something that can withstand that.
Also how much do they run for?
And were can i find some prices.

Thanks alot guys.

What your reading and taking as us complaining on the differential is infact nothing to do with the differential other than the size ring gear that is used along with them. No matter how strong a differential you use (which is the torsen unit by the way, because it has no clutch packs to go and is basically set up like a detriot locker) the weak point which is not changing is the 7.625 ring gear. Which is basically a Go-kart sized gear. There is no way anyone not on smack could think that, that sized ring gear can hold for the long run with traction to 300 , 400 and so on horsepower.

Re: Torsen or auburn

ok one more question...for now...
If i want my car to support more power all i need to do is change the gears inside my transmission given that everything else is good?
If so what size gears do i need?
And what brand?
