Romni, it most likely wouldnt have happened wiithout all the additional HP. I dont know what you are running but I dont think an LSD withi stock or close to stock HP would be an issue at all.

I dont think I'll be doing burnouts for a little while, I still havent washed my shorts yet
.
Also as an FYI, you can change the gearing with the TRD lsd, I just chose not too.
a couple reasons why
1 RMM sternly recomended againsg going to 3.76, they said that it is tough for the cars to make boost becuasee the car is in each gear for such a short time.
2. I wanted to reduce the amount of shifting problems I would have, 3.76 gears and SC is a recipie for shifting problems, at least it seems to be that way for the majority of FI folks.

Yeah, I have heard the same about NOT changing the gearing of FI cars.
Have you had a chance to get any 0-60 times or 1/4 mile times yet? I guess it might be better to get some decent rubber first...

No times yet and I'm not really a straight line type of guy. But I am sure that opportunity will present itself.
The times wouldnt be any good anhow I can smoke the tires with the VSC on and If I were to turn it off I would just sit there and spin like a top.
Like you said new wider rubber is a mus.
