VLSD just becomes an open diff after a lap. Just like yours is (permanently, based on temps seen) after a dragon run


But is the fuel issue at every fuel level??? All I'm saying is the few guys I know who run there Z's around the track have no issue with the fuel or VLSD. What do you mean by your last statement there? My Diff is permanently open now after running a real hot temp after the dragon?

On R comps, you'll get fuel starve at 9/10ths in the right (or wrong as the case my be) turns.

On street tires, usually around 7/10ths. Wife HAS to keep the tank topped off for every single HPDE session, very annoying, BUT there is a solution coming down the pipe from an aftermarket vendor.


EDIT: regarding the VLSD, the viscous fluid breaks down with usage and esp heat, it thins out, and therfore is less and less able to lock the wheels together essentiall revuerting back to an open diff. If you are serious about tracking, you'll swap out to a carbonetics, quaife (my choice) or OSG.
