Or are you saying that a true limited slip diff slows the car down?
By braking the wheel that is lifting you are applying MORE power to the wheel that is not lifting.
How can that possibly slow the car down?
I suppose letting the lifted wheel spin like crazy (then chirp when it sets back down) is the fastest way around the track??
And I guess using the brakes to stop wheel slip during acceleration (you know "traction control") is also slower than just spinning the wheels.
I guess we need to tell the drag guys they are doing it wrong.

It definitely slows you down.
First it turns our car into 1wd
And 2
The system is too slow. By the time it steals away the precious power, the traction event is long gone.
A TRUE lsd would not slow the car down.
I just put a Kaaz into mine (review coming) and its definitely better.
