Like the Subaru commercials say, an LSD will transfer the power from the "wheel(s) that slip to the wheel(s) that grip." Instead of your power going up in smoke, it gets to the ground. This will not only help you on the track, but anywhere.

Edit: but in drag racing, traction is pretty equal across the drive wheels, not much single tire slipping, so the advantage isn't as great as, say, a road course where you're going WOT out of turns and unloading your inside tires...

LSD Tranny improved my 60' ft time and off the line mph and minimized the wheelhop. i typicall launch at 5.5k and redline at 7k

worth doing when tranny is being serviced...

Yeah i was gonna guess maybe 2 tenths off the 60 foot and 5 tenths of the 1/4. That is pretty significant.

I got my quaife from Earl on the forced induction forum. Great transaction/shipping/prices.

$815 dollars shipped.



BTW, pic up the tapered bearings prior to the install. Its easier to use new ones than pull the old ones off.
