yes thats obvious. Like I said, it doesnt really help that much in a front wheel drive car when it comes to straight line. Notice I said "not that much". I never said it didnt help at all. The problem with the FWD is the weight transfer on the launch obviously. The LSD isnt that effective when u have weight transfering off the front tires to the rear. U have other problems that need to be addressed before a LSD will be worth it to use on a FWD drag car.

i say double your traction with a LSD then do one or more of the following: (copy&pasted from http://www.intense-racing.com/suspension.doc)

·Stiffer springs – Stiffer springs will allow less body movement thus resisting the center of gravity from moving rearwards.
·Stiffer struts – Aftermarket struts with a higher damping rate will also control and reduce body movement during a launch
·Lower the front only – This biases more weight to the front wheels effectively moving the center of gravity forward.
·Taller rear tires – Some people run 28” skinnies in the back to bias more weight forward.
·Run high air pressure (within the tire manufacturer’s specs) in the back tires. Besides giving you a lower rolling resistance, it will also raise the rear slightly more.
·Spring blockers in the rear.
