Default Type R LSD how much HP

Hey i have a type r tranny with a factory Lsd how much Power can these take with Slicks. Making 600whp so i believe this will be the weak link. Whats is the best LSD to go with. Would love to hear from peeps who are using them. Building a nice drag sol right now and trying to work ths issues out over the winter.

Im using a Wavetrac with no issues. The rest of the trans is having problems. Try preloading to help preserve your drivetrain.

Still gotta tear it down but Im pretty sure the main shaft bearings are pretty bad off judging by the clanking Im hearing that goes away when I press the clutch pedal.

It is.

As far as how much power the ITR LSD can handle there are a lot of variables. How the car is driven, clutch/pressure plate, tires, track conditions, weight, etc.

I've seen on here a stock ITR LSD fail behind a likely upgraded stock ITR motor and running 22" slicks.

Like 190-200 whp.

You'll want the helical LSD. Give me a call or PM if you want to get more info about it or place an order. I can take care of the install as well if needed (LSD will be covered by MFactory's warranty if I install it). 423-426-2669

Get a full straight cut gear set! you dont have that torsional twist... but lacks the surface area as helical...
