I only put about 8k miles on until some old lady hit me head on.

LSD is good all around, helps to put power down, in most cases from the factory the axle that has the shortest distance to the wheel is the one that gets power.

- Thu Jul 28, 2011 7:55 pm #265397 after i built my high compression motor i was running just a stock long ratio ls tranny that i got with my previous ls swap that tranny was good for getting a top speed but as soon as i bought the b16 tranny it woke my car up it had so much more pep in it step when i punched the gas pedal
it is probably one of the most important thing i couldve done to my car to make it perfom the way i wanted it to

Well i just heard when you are putting down serious power, it really doesnt do much good. I could've heard wrong but thanks for the info.
