Now that I've put a couple hundred miles on the set up I figured I'd give my initial thoughts on each piece as best I can. This is on an otherwise stock car performance wise. No tune, no exhaust, no intake, ect.

Final Drive

I notice a difference in acceleration mostly in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears above 4k RPMs. Below that you're still in the dreaded torque dip. I did do a red line pull in 5th gear but the power isn't there for me to "feel" much of a difference. But I don't remember ever doing a 5th gear pull to red line with the factory gearing so there might be a difference but it's still weak sauce with no power upgrades.

This is a great upgrade IMO. Initiating tail out action is not only a lot easier, but it is much smoother both entering and exiting a corner. You do hear clunking under slow sharp turns but that is to be expected with a clutch type 2 way. I've also been told that you have to change out the oil in the rear end more frequently. For example my factory rear end had 21k miles on it and I had not changed the oil. From what others have told me with their 2 way LSD's it needs to be changed about every other oil change on the motor. So let's say approx. every 6k to 10k miles. Still worth it IMO.
