If your car has enough torque reaction at low RPM to tweak the chassis, it will unload one rear tire. Under those conditions an LSD will help. I'd be surprised if a 944 with its IRS and relatively stiff chassis can accomplish that, maybe so. LSDs for drag racing purposes were a child of the musclecar era, cars with 60/40 weight distribution, 400+ ft-lbs of torque at low RPM, and a flexible chassis, with a solid rear axle and bias-ply tires.

I have to agree with Ernie, my first thought was whether you enjoyed clutch and tranny work.... I'm glad you don't intend to make a practice of this!

Just remind me not to purchase you car in the future.

Good information Ross and Thank you, As far as buying my car 'fwb42" in the future, it will never be for sale but I will tell you that 15 years from now it will still be one of the nicest 968's still around. Just like my 944 of 22 years is still one of the nicest original cars still on the road. If you want to drive your car like a grandma all the time that is fine but do not critisize what I do with my car when I have a proven track record of keeping a car in great shape while still have some occasional fun.

Having an open exhaust backed up to the 968 will take any low end torque the engine had and move it much higher in the RPM range. If you want to do burnouts just squeeze the exhaust tip almost closed in a vice and have at it.

I have not seen any loss of power throughout the rev range. I would say the exact opposite. More air in, more air out, along with the quicker throttle response the chip creates seems to have made a very strong car. I am not near a dyno but that would not matter to me much anyway. Fun factor is far more important to me than dyno factor.

Ok.
