I won't do a full explanation because you can search for that, but in a nutshell, as much as the stock torsen + abs tries to maintain grip to both wheels, it's still reliant on the torque bias ratio, so when one wheel has no traction, that wheel gets the power. abs creates a little bit of resistance from what I noticed when going up steep driveways, but it can't work with a lot of power, it would roast your brakes.

Mechanical LSD's begin to lock both wheels as one begins to loose traction. Pair that with good tires and it would help you out a lot.

Do some research though, mechanical LSD's aren't for everyone. They require more maintenance and make lots of noises.
