running at idle for over half an hour in queue...he was happy though

Looks like you had a fantastic time Walter, thanks for posting the results.

In your opinion, for the type of driving you have done on the long tracks, would you consider adding a limited slip diff ? Or would this potential addition not be worth it ? How about for the drag strip ?

Thanks.

Good question! short answer: YES!
For last monday I didn't really missed it, but then again, I can hardly tell what its like with one.
I have missed it before on the circuit when I mistook inner wheel spinning for clutch slip (the latter it wasnt). Now with more spring and less overhang, I can get away without it or so it seems, but still wished I had it onboard.

For drag racing I really miss a Diff, any diff I would say as I almost always get one-wheel burn-outs which really sucks and is almost dangerous because of the different traction left-right it results in.

If I get a financial break, an LSD from Paul Guard is the first thing on my list 4sure!

Thats what I'am talking about! Did you get the 25%/75% or the 40/60?
Good choice mate

The lesser of the two. They didn't advise too much lock up on the street.

That would be the hardest part for me to decide upon tbh as I do some track time as well plus I absolutely hate the one-wheel burn-outs at drag events (which are dangerous too).
