Default Alloy Diff Centre

Phenomenal build thread Mark!
I spent a good couple of hours going through it.
I have a question regarding your experience with alloy housings. I’m building a Pro Touring 1967 Fairlane hardtop, it’ll weigh around 3200lbs, have around 600hp and run a 6-speed, plus a pretty decent tire (315/30R18) on the back. Predominantly an occasional weekend toy with probably 3-4 track days (circuit) a year.
Strange talk about reduced life on the gears due to housing flex. Strange Engineering also did not recommend their alloy centre due to the weight – yet I’ve seen a host of cars running alloy centres. You’ve used them and have beat on them pretty hard – what’s been your experience?
Thanks in advance
Craig P
