All of us with the 3.76 already have LSD and still not enough traction*. 3.92 will only make that worse.
Rominl can even spin his tall 285/30-20's. I have 19"s and can lay down a 20ft + scratch.
*Also consider most of us have the TC mod, intake and exhaust mods and 275 -285 rear tires too.

and actually i have 275/30/20 in the back. but that doesn't matter coz' if i wish, i can burn through my WHOLE first gear.
and personally i don't really care much about top end. i don't drive over 120 anyway. if i race and reach 120mph it's time for me to stop, that's how i see it.
oh and i don't have intake, just exhaust

Especially bad on a sharp left/right turn at low speed with a bit of foot into it. With the LSD though, VSC never kicks in, car just GOES

I may just bite the bullet, drive over to RMM in HB and pay full price for a new 3.76 unit. However, I still wish we had more quantifiable results for the 3.92. Like I said I'm rolling on 20X9.5s with a 275 Michelin Pilot tire and I barely light up the back on launch.
