Default Is an LSD Transmission worth it?

I'm about to buy an engie from hmotorsonline. They have most engines with the option for the LSD tranny. I know quite a few guys who race and not one of them have a LSD tranny. Is it worth the $300 more upfront?

Yes
it's better to pay 300 now and have it already installed than to pay 300-800 later and have to do the work yourself.

it is definetely worth it...especially if urs is a 1st gen..if u get a non-lsd tranny now and decide to get an lsd tranny later it is gonna cost u way more to rip that thing out and put the new one in...also there is a difference between the spline size on they1/s1/j1 tranny's compared to the ys1 tranny...the ys1's is larger than the rest

i just called there and the guy told me they don't sell any cable trannies separate.
$650 for hydro gsr w/o LSD
add 300 for LSD

and yes, it is worth the $$ for the LSD

I guess an LSD is a good thing. I haven't been able to read anything good on this yet but I can't remember: Does the LSD add power to the spinning wheel or the non-spinning one? I'm still googling to find the answer. Sorry for being a noob.

Yes, some of the Y1 and YS1 trannies did come with an LSD straght from the factory. I honestly don't know **** about the S1 though.
