Supra LSD Pumpkin Pros v. Cons
I want to switch to a supra lsd pumpkin but after reading into it I might not. I want to see all the pros and cons so I can decide. Can anyone help with my pros and con list.
Pros:
LSD
Fast acceleration
Cons:
Worse gas milage
mechanically limited to a lower top speed
will hurt my 0-60 and 1/4 mile times due to the fact that I will have to shift more often
Can anyone add to the list. Thanks.

1) it does promote faster acceleration, but a snapshot to exactly 60 you will be slightly slower than a Gs4 without it, all other mods being the same. I.e 0-50, the Gs4 with this lsd would be MUCH faster than the other. Highway roll, hands down the supra lsd is much faster. Many people combine a high stall tc and headers, like myself, to counteract losing time to 60 mph for that extra shift. So, now my car is MUCH MUCH faster than a regular Gs4 in any scenario. Plus, now with more power mods you have better off the line traction due to the lsd.
2) get it!

Why not buy a TRD LSD (clutch type) and put that in instead of messing with the Supra one if it the gearing bothers you too much? The only thing I didn't like about the Supra LSD is that it was a Torsen style. If one wheel lost complete traction, then the diff acts like an open one.

TT auto TRD LSD brand new is around $825- $875 then you need the 2 side bearings, 2 o rings and the rtv sealer to reseal the rear diff cover and then you are done.
Get the TRD!
