Arron - not sure I can answer all, or any of your questions, but I can give you my impressions driving with an LSD.

I added an 80% ZF LSD to my 914-4 set-up for the track, but running stock motor & tranny.

The main thing I noticed the car felt far more stable and under control. Situations that would have be "Oh Shit" were only "oops". The LSD increased my confidence in the car and therefor I could, and did, drive it faster.

Depending on the situation the LSD helps keep the back-end under control, sometimes by adding throtle sometimes by backing off, depends on the situation.

Some say there is a minimum engine power you should have before the LSD makes any difference and this may be so when powering out of turns, but the there is no question in my mind the LSD makes my 100hp car better.

I know this is not nut & bolt secific info but I would certainlly hate be without the my LSD.
