I'm not sure that installing an LSD on a non-race V8 914 is worth the spend, but if it's already in, i wouldn't take it out. My RH 4spd 901 (no LSD) leaves dual stripe burnouts if the car is going straight. Around corners the light wheel spins first, though the outside tire will break loose as well with any real throttle. Scott at RH did say that an LSD can be more of a handful when power drifting in close quarters (walled on ramps, etc.) but I would expect that's true with most higher HP cars. This can be overcome with better driving (try riding with Scott sometime) but I don't expect my heavy throttle experience to accumulate that fast.

I believe that the theory behind the open diff being easier on the tranny is that as the torque is building in the system, a single tire will let go, reducing driveline stresses before both tires break loose with an LSD. It's still the weakest link plan, and before anyone claims that there's no point in a V8 with an open diff (that durn thing'll never get off the ground) just go for a ride, or better yet drive one.

PS. Scott once performed a bootleg turn from a standing start in a parking structure with throttle in a normal aisle. I don't think that the left front tire rolled 1/2 complete turn before we were going the other way very quickly. Kinda like that video clip of Scott and the Peel from Mulholland drive that was posted a while back. Scary but fun.

I got a ride in the chalon today. What a badass car!!! Scott did a great job building the thing. There was a bunch of traffic, so he kept the speed reasonable, but the engine pulls hard, and when you're in the passenger seat you cant tell its a chalon (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Scott,
Maybe you can bring the tranny wih the noise over to Joe's this weekend. We can at least take it apart and see WTF you did to it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I think that it would be a great learning experience for everyone.

I just finished working on the two I have now. I couldn't pound on anything since it is after nidnight, so I just decided to call it a night.
