Open diff or LSD for AutoX

You will probably go faster with slicks, but the car will probably feel better with the LSD even though your lap times won't show it.

really depends on the scenario, from on track testing ive been involved with over here at Buttonwillow raceway park in socal, A properly setup Clutch type LSD on a 2WD car is anywhere from 1 to 2 seconds faster then a torsen gear type LSD on a 2 min average lap time track. Compared to a open diff the time improvement should be more. Of course slicks over stock tires would prolly be a 4-5 second improvement, but good diff AND good tires would be a huge jump.

That's what I meant. LSD is faster than the open diff, but the slicks help your times way more.
