OH, and quick doing power brake burnouts, its just wears them out sooner. GET A LINE LOCK KIT FROM OUTRAGIOUS PERFORMANCE. No I don't work for them, I just like their kit.

uh, the lightnings come with synthetic gear oil...

mine one wheeled one time at the track. the key is to pull up straight, back up straight, pull back up straight again, then do your burnout. worked for me, no more one wheels...

Limited slip will not stop both wheels from spinning unless one has GREAT traction and the other is all wet. It takes that drastic of a difference for that statement to have any valus.
No. It takes only about 50ft lbs difference.

This will never happen on the track unless your clutches are failing, or you missed the water box on one side all together in which case a drag racing class is in order.
Again No. You ought to spend some time at differing tracks and you'll see that most good conditioned Limited slips *don't* "lock" the rears. I've spent many many years racing street cars at the track and LS diffs are only capable of just so much.

Not trying to start something with ya. But these things just are not correct.

I know on 4wd with LS, you can apply the brakes a little and that will "activate" both tires to get them spining.
My Jeep will only spin one front and one rear tire, with the brakes lightly pressed, (pressure on all 4 wheels) all 4 wheels start spinning


Can you do the same with a lightning off the line?
I'm assumming the rear ends are pretty much the same.
