nice vids pete, i was proud to take out an infinity g35 coupe...hehehe but i beat him with a 14.3et @ 101.8mph 1/4mile....absolutly no traction in first and second and part of third. wish i could have gone with TheFantasticG tonight to the 1/8th mile but you do what you gata do.

in all honesty man the LSD is not that big of a deal.... the motor mounts and good tires WILL help alot more and be a bigger difference then the LSD... i have it... its nice on turns but even doing dig runs i still had the same traction problem if not worse!!!

a good clutch also helps alot...

i thought the lsd would prevent the one wheel spin under hard excel, am i wrong on that? should i just cheap out and get the phantom grip?

its not that it doesnt help its just not as much as some make it out to be... you would probably only shave .1-.3 off the 1/4 mile time depending on power output. like tcpete said its much better to invest in a good set of tires.

i say LSD really helps around corners where you really need power transfered to the right wheel, but in a straight line, on good track, lsd is the least of your issues, X2 on motor mounts and tires!

sounded like a lot of wheel hop in both cars at launch (i hate that noise)

motor mounts will help with that (if you are alright with losing a comfortable daily ride)
