Its called a LSD or limited slip differential. Basically it gives more power to the wheel with traction when one wheel loses traction.
Slicks will probably help him out at the track if he is slipping through the first two gears.

i have a quaife in my si and it was by far one of the most noticable upgrades if done. also if you spend the mony and get a quaife its garenteed for life. Its a good feeling know that i will never blow the diff. Deff worth it!!
