The factory vlsd is fine as on the street and I guess it's better than nothing, but as your grip and skill improve, it will let you down.

Big thing about my setup is having north of 500whp.
The factory VLSD I was getting loads of inside wheel spin and I was never able to utilize the extra power, there's multiple corners on my home track that I used to never be able to stay flat out without getting inside spin that I'm able to now.
Here's a video of the factory VLSD in action

It's hard to say if you'll get those kind of gains but another guy that runs with me is running a N/A 370 and saw similar results when he went to a Nismo 1.5 though.
The stickier the tire, bigger the power and more aero all exaggerates how poor the factory LSD is.
