It would cause less wheel spin, more grip etc.

But being that it's a 6 cylinder family car, you wont have a problem with traction anyway.

But wouldnt that be less seeing as thou the car is powering 2 wheels instead of 1????

Pretty sure I gained about 30rwkw when I installed an LSD on my car so it might be worth getting one

Stupid question but what does the ratios mean when choosing an lsd?

go to the servo and buy some bags of ice and open the hood and just skatter them everywhere in the engine bay and it should keep it cool while you are driving to the wreckers.

yella terra high ratio rockers, great bang for your buck with ecotec, convert it to manual, than 3.7 diff gears, and leave it, anything after that na is a waste of time.

the best bang for buck power mod is Nitrous no question


if you want to spend more money for less gains upfront then the traditional exhaust, intake, cams, more timing and tune are the way to go.


But for a shit box VS commodore why bother with any of it?
