If that's even remotely true it'll affect us more having more power stock and making more power from bolton's than 350 hrs. Z eliminator said he had trouble getting traction from the 1 to 2 shift dragging but his is an automatic which is going to be harder to deal with than a manual I'd guess. Anyone think it's a waste to buy the gearing without going with a better lsd? Quaife, Kaaz, nismo, etc.

Any aftermarket diff will improve traction, but the bulk of any spinning issue is in the tire/launch technique, and alignment. The aftermarket diffs really shine in the turns
That being said, an aftermarket lsd is a very, very worthwhile upgrade on any Z, especially if it's a base, but even vs the stock viscous (which is no bueno as it is). It all comes down to budget ultimately
