I was talking to someone yesterday about my car, and he was telling me to not even worry too much about gettin more power until later on, but that i should put a limited slip in my tranny. He was telling me about how it'll make the car a totally different animal, and might actually turn it into a monster... I never thought of putting an LSD into my tranny as making a way of making a car feel/seem faster. Any thoughts?

I drive a '90 Integra with a b18b swap btw...
It's not going to be faster. On street tires it's not really any quicker off the line at a drag strip either.

It excels in turns. Basically you're going from 1 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. Autocrossing you'll light up the inside tire with an open diff trying to maneuver sharp turns, the same goes with mountain roads...especially on wet roads.

The car won't feel faster unless you have enough power that you are spinning the tire(s) in every gear.
