That 1.5 way is a good limited slip differential, but not the best for drag racing use, which sounds a bit like your purpose more. I guess for "traction" I look at it in 2 ways. Traction for cornering and deceleration, and traction for grip to the tires in a straight line. Since this is a mechanical / clutch type LSD, it is not the most recommended for drag racing. A Torsen-type like the Quaife would be a better option because it has no plates to put any stress on. With the exception of certain ATS carbon differentials that are made for drag racing, I'd stick with the Quaife differential, and use the Spoon LSD for another purpose.
