Enjoying my INTENSE gen 2 LSD
#21
I laid a few 2 wheel burnouts without my LSD too, I noticed both would spin and than one would catch and the other tire would still add another 15feet of rubber. but couldn't get both to hook up everytime. One of the main reasons I got it was to elminate Tourque steer and help rolling launches, where non LSD will never hook up both tires.
For me, I'm not stopping either, I just want my PHASE 1 done as well, rockers, headers, and PCM. drive it for a year. Next year get IC and ported blower and save up for a beefed tranny, then who knows, I also need to save for a winter beater too.

My plans exactly.
So far I'm sticking with ZZP. They are awesome when it comes to service and products.
That trani is going to be the most costly. I may stop now to avoid the pain. :?
I already have a beater Jeep for winter.

Just try not to beat on it ALL-THE-TIME!!! I read your stories on your driving habits and high speed stories, and your low gas mileage average, first thing that comes to mind.... He drives like ME!.. lol.

It'* a good thing that my wife drives it 80% of the time.
I take my Firebird to work. It'* a lot tougher.
Hey...BTW, one point I thought I'd mention is your now useless spare tire. At least for the front wheels. Did you notice how small the OD is....about 23".
So if you use it with your LSD, because it will be turning a lot faster than your normal tire, your clutches in your LSD will burn out in short order.
That'* one of the reasons I'm leaning towards the Quaffe unit. Zero maintenance and longer life with no friction discs.

yeah, yeah, thanks for reminding me, not that big of a deal to change rear to front IF i have too, don't plan on getting any flats though, who does? The Quaffe is a little out of my budget, spent that money on rockers instead. 2 mods for the price of one.

Hey, remember guys that the type of LSD with discs was originally developed for rear wheel drive differentials that run in heavy weight gear oil....not light weight trani fluid.....that doesn't have any friction modifier in it either.
I also notice that other car brands OEM front wheel drive LSD'* are a Quaffe type design for warranty issues.

My dad thought the same thing too until he had to buy his 3rd Intense LSD
Your first LSD was installed incorrectly and subsequently destroyed. The parking gear was installed backwards, and we still have the all the damaged parts here in case you've forgotten. It'* obvious, whether you like it or not, that the INSIDE portion of the parking gear damaged the INSIDE edge of the differential. And this would not have been possible with correct installation.
We replaced that unit at NO CHARGE. Seven months after the warranty expired, we then replaced that LSD with another at NO CHARGE since you were unhappy with the performance of the product. Another year later when you wanted a third replacement, we denied the request.
We've got several hundred First Gen LSD'* in the field, and most customers like them. Our Second Gen LSD is MUCH better, and these will be breaking many 60' records in 2004.

But yet you still tell everyone you have never had a differential go bad, when we have had 2 replaced and Zooomer has also had at least 2 replaced. But they never break.
