Hey, on our little run last sat, I didn't start to get fade until we hit Whittier Bl. on the way back. Actually drum brakes have more surface area for stopping than Disc.
No rolling fiction until brake shoes touch the drum.

If a NA stock diff can take 500hp, why not try it out?

I'm with SSCobra, on the exploder diff. Additionally, most Ranger diffs are open. I think only the 4wd Rangers have LSD in the rear.
