The Wavetrac Differential powers both drive wheels under nearly all conditions, instead of just one. With an ordinary open differential, standard on most cars, a lot of precious power is wasted during wheelspin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip (along the path of least resistance). The Wavetrac, however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has the better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel. This is why the Wavetrac is known to be a "torque biasing" differential, hence the acronym ATB, Automatic Torque Biasing.
The Wavetrac is extremely strong and durable and since the Wavetrac is gear operated, it has no plates or clutches that can wear out and need costly replacement. The Wavetrac differential is equipped with ARP hardware to ensure a "non-failure" environment. Differential failures are commonly due to inferior materials or craftsmanship. The Wavetrac, based on it's design and high-quality materials, is great for street driving or racing. Racers don't have to put up with locking mechanisms or spools that tear the steering wheel out of their hands when cornering. Because it behaves like an open differential during ordinary driving, street drivers will have trouble telling it's there until pushing the car's limits.
