ITR 4.7 FD upgrade yes or no?

I just wanted you guys opinions on my tranny upgrade. I have a B16a2 tranny that I wanted to upgrade the final drive to the 98spec 4.78! I was wondering if traction is going to be a problem with a Gsr open differential? Or do you think I should put it in later down the road when I get the LSD, an run the stock b16 one for now?

You have an LS redline? If so I'd get a jdm gsr tranny with lsd and run the 4.7 in that. That's what I want...LSD and the jdm final drive in my gsr tranny + b18b.
