Looking to head down the track in the future and wondering where my money is best spent to help get the best time over the 1/4 mile
Im running EA 5 speed...... which means 3.5 first gear plus 3.7 single spinner diff means traction is an issue, so im thinking 2 options ...... been quoted nearly $1000 to have a rebuilt LSD fitted to my diff OR ....... fit a pair of 235/70 American Racer semi slicks around $600 posted http://www.vpw.com.au/product.asp?CatID ... odID=74803 What would be more beneficial on the track? |

nitrous, slow take off, and then hit it.
Best bang for your buck you will ever find |

Im worried about the lsd as ive heard alot of stories of people having a single spinner diff 6 months after a LSD rebuild? ELGT wrote: nitrous, slow take off, and then hit it.
Best bang for your buck you will ever find that would be ideal, but knowing my car the only thing going "bang" would be headgasket

Spool hands down. If its a track car then why waste 1k on a rebuilt LSD when a spool can be fitted for a fraction of the price. That is if it is actually a track car. |

Basically looking at the two above options and wondering which would help traction more? |

Done prpoerly, nitrous is awesome, cheap, addictive and just unbeatable. I have never blown a thing. |
