yeah, i guess b/c i'm almost all grip driving, i've always thought of torsens being the "top dog"

As I understand them, helicals are not good for drifting as they transfer ALL the power to the wheel with (more) traction. That makes it the exact opposite to an open diff. In drifting, what you want is both wheels spinning at the same rate, so you can predictably, consistently maintain and control drifts with the throttle. If you only have one wheel spinning, even if it's the one with traction, it's almost like an open diff.
What I would like, is a clutch type that doesn't necessarily engage SLOWLY so much as it engages progressively and smoothly. That's what's (IMO) important.
What was an LSD doing on the foxbody anyway? Drag car? If so it was probably a 1-way (read: virtually useless if you're doing anything that requires more turning than drag racing) and almost a completely different beast than a 2-way.

helicals never completely transfer power to the gripping wheel, most can do a max of 70/30 or so... the Fox-body was mainly straight-line and i THINK it was a 1-way, but the only times i was playing with wheelspin was acclerating out of corners when the diff would be working.
i'm probably going to go with a clutch-type 1.5-way, primarily cost-motivated... if i get desparate i'm gonna have to look for a cheap VLSD...
