new diff

Just replaced the diff in my truck. other one was missin a few teeth. i priced out the new diff and a posi was $450 and non posi was $250. im now kicking myself for being so cheap. my question is, i do a couple truck pulls each year just for fun( i know...2wd haha at least i do it) will it pull worse now that the posi is gone. i run 265 interco boggers when i pull but im afraid only 1 wheel will spin. whudya think?

You should have done the L/S. On a slick starting line you might not move the sled.

I'm with these other guys. BUT Live and Learn. When you blow this one up then you'll know to get the LS. Or you still can go get the detroit, but then your 25O turns into 75O and then some.
You still should go and try it, worst case is you just spin at the line, but don't spin to fast, bad things can start coming out of the diff housing with only one tire going 70 MPH!

Remember that time you said there was an ice cube in front of your tire and it wouldn't move
