Any recommendation on a LSD?

Unless something comes back wacky on your alignment, I'll go with "tires breaking loose around 5k rpm for $200, Alex". :rofl2:

I've got the same issue. Even at part throttle, when you start getting into the meaty part of the powerband, the tires will break loose. How much throttle did you give it? Mine is a lot more "point and shoot" after boost than it was before.

New extra power, no LSD, stock suspension says to me heavy right foot...especially if it seems to be happening out of the "hard" corners. IF I were your instructor, I would say to you...

"pretend that there is an egg under your throttle pedal, and you want to just squeeze that pedal...try not to break that egg. Save your throttle mashing for when you are in a straight line"

Oversteer in right hand turns
 
I was squeezing into the gas but I was unwinding the wheel. I was no where near hard throttle but obviously it was to much. It felt to me like it broke loose when the tires weren't making much noise.

How many laps/miles on the tires? How hot were they?

Chuck my car does hit boost hard at 4500 and that's about where I was.

3rd lap of the weekend and they had only done one weekend. The track had been wet that morning but it looked 100% dry. The track was cool and it was on the concrete section.

Yeah, I'm leaning toward a learning experience that you have a whole hell of a lot more power than you think. Get a good diff and give it another shot. Hell, get a stock VLSD off someone. Even that's better than nothing.

Any brand you recommend ?

I'm not gun shy about spending money, I just want it right.

Sebring is a very bumpy track and it is easy to unsettle the car there. I wouldn't make any changes until you get more track time. However, if you really want to do something before you go out again, try a larger front swaybar, like the Eibach, which will reduce oversteer.

I'm still using the VLSD. Go look in the track subforum. There's some really smart guys in there.

Another question- what size tires are you running? Not the 245s on the non-sport 18s, right?

The are the stock sizes.

So 245s in back? That's not enough rubber for stock power, much less 100whp over stock.
