Arrow LSD VS open diferential

Anyone knows if with the extra power we are going to be getting via the Stage upgrades is it going to make an even bigger deal whether one has the LSD VS the open diferential. I like all the big horsepower I'll take that anytime but not if it just going up in smoke or wheelspin. big Dyno # are nice and all but big Dyno # applied to the ground on real driving are even better.

If I get these stage upgrades will I need to get the LSD to fully enjoy its new power? Or will something like a torque brace be enough.

By the way, I am missing my RL since I was in a car wreck about two weeks ago and the body shop just started working on her today.

Well, I will say that LittleMT is running at least one of her SRTs with an open diff. I think it's running low-mid 11's right now.

Might be alot more help on a road course though, I kept lighting up the inside tire...

LSD is pretty nice for that.. prevent slipping.

But you will love all of your power, just need to moderate de pedal on low speed

Yup, better tires would solve all of it as well...

at 217 whp, I have more HP than the non-lsd can handle. I come out of a turn and nail it to the next turn and light up the inside tire. It was not as bad on gingerman's track surface as a parking lot because of the higher speeds exiting the turns, but I still did manage to spin here and there. IMHO, to do the upgrades without getting the LSD is only good if you want to impress the crowd with your wheel spinning and smokey burnout exhibitions. You will still spin with a LSD, just not as easily and you will be able to control the spin better with back-pedaling.
