Message pros and cons of the different LSD units, and their respective dynamics. And I agree with you about the added benefit with the Kaaz unit, while the gears allowed you to increase your 60' and add some MPH, I think the set up was optimized (by a closer to 50/50 torque bias) with the addition of an effective LSD. I've had a "locked" type LSD on an older Z myself, and while it performed spectacularly in a straight line, I'd be wanting to hide as I drove thru parking lots with the noise and funky operation of it making turns. As I said below, the Quaife is known as an all around excellent functioning LSD: it has great, even torque bias in a straight line, allows for variation of speed of the inside vs. the outside wheels in road racing (you don't want a more locked LSD when making turns), and doesn't scream out' "I'm a piece of shit" as you drive thru a parking lot. Keep up the good work, and DON'T HIT YOUR REV LIMITER...you may break my record. I can't tell you how many potential good runs I ruined by bopping the limiter in (any) gear. Take care, Mark
