I just realized that when I was turning the one wheel it was out of gear. That is when the other wheel spun in the other direction. I did it with the car in gear and the other wheel did not budge. I think my LSD is shot. Oh well, time for an upgrade I guess.

Thanks for the info Greg. I was gonna ask further about why diff lockup is good in deceleration until I ran across this great writeup:

Anyone wanting to know about diffs and racing and how different setups work differently, this is a good read IMHO.
