I wouldn't go with a LSD setup if you want the best track and street hook-up. Try Detroit's True-Trac. It has no clutches, just gears and has a better "posi" effect. It also has no noise like the Detroit "Locker" but hooks just as well.
No pot stirring here. He's not circle tracking, and he's not drag-stripping. Putting a solid axle rear in a car like ours that, sooner or later, see's heavy acceleration on uneven streets, will put you in to the trees. I believe it to be a huge safety issue. But hey, it's your life....
