Ok finally the differential shop put it in, the guy said it was no problem, nothing new. But he charged me $300 for the install.
I did a little, test. Stop the car, VSC off, brake torque to around 1k rpm, bam launch, I heard one little chirp and vibration and I was gone...thats nice, i usually would off been peeling out longer and maybe even left some smoke.
As far as taking corners at higher speeds or accelerating while turning....not really a difference at all, VSC still kicks in real quick.
All in all, was it worth it? Hmm i dont know if it was, 769 for the unit , 300 for the install.
I say save your chips for something else, might have the shop try to stuff some 4:10 gears, well have to wait and see.

J - glad to hear they got it in OK!
You don't have an aftermarket torque converter, do you? With a hard full throttle launch now (pre LSD) like you describe, I'll leave a huge cloud of rubber smoke that makes it hard to see my car from behind it. This is why I want (read that NEED) the LSD. Got to set up an appointment for my install next.

Yeah this unit will definetly help.
This is a must for drag racing, will not really help people who are looking for better traction around turns.

EHHH get the unit, hit a corner, no difference.
Trust me I tried, if there was a difference, very minimal.
