Well i'm still kinda new to all this too, but from what I was reading T-Lok are better than the v6 open differential but depending on what you plan to do you may wanna get a different brand. The biggest drawn back with the T-Lok is that it is a stock part and its not meant to handle high preformance. So if you plan on putting a turbo or supercharger in I wouldn't get a T-Lok. One other small downside to the T-Lok is even thou it is a LSD in a tight turn I have heard of the wheels still losing traction. TORSEN offers a system that offers a bit more control and strength. The TORSEN system will detect the friction on each wheel and depending on the conditions adjust each of the wheels as needed (Up to 80% of the engine's can be transferred to one wheel). Downsides to a TORSEN, however, are that they are a little on the pricey side (500ish) and they only fit 8.8 axles. So if you have a v6 you need to change your 7.5 axle.

O and if you have an Auto I recogmend 4.10 gears. I haven't replaced mine yet, but I hear they work well w/ the trans.

t-lok will let both rear wheels spin...
gears will not give you better hp or tq dyno #'s but it will greatly improve acceleration

if you plan on goin turbo, s/c or over 350-400hp any of that will be pointless(-tlok and gears) because it'll be $600-800 waste cuz an 8.8 rear axle will be needed cuz its stronger then the 7.5
the 8.8 rears come with t-lok/limited slip so all you will need is gears, but the stock 8.8 t-lok isnt the strongest thing out there either
a 31 or 33 spine t-lok will be need after a certain amount of power as well
