don't count on turbo lag helping with traction.. if i floor it in 1st or 2nd gear, i lose traction after the turbo spools, 4000rpm or whatever until redline, in 3rd gear, it loses traction from turbo spool until about 5000rpm.. sure i don't lose traction at 3000rpm if i floor it while cruising in 2nd gear, but as soon as that turbo spools up, bye bye traction.. my point is, slow spool may save you from losing traction early, but once you get too much power, you'll lose traction anyways.
i'm not on steelies, i have 14" american racing alloys (don't ask, they came on the car, it was used) but i am on skinnies (185)for the time being.
i would love to have a LSD, but i doubt it would help me in 1st or 2nd gear, 3rd gear it would most likely help as that is just a bit of wheelspin, but 1st and 2nd gear is just spin as in power spin, as in nothing short of wide as hell drag radials or slicks could help. i'm pretty sure both tires were spinning, i raced a teg and was passing him while my tires were spinning, and had no problem with torque steer.
so yeah, don't count on having perfect traction unless you plan on going to awd and slicks and maybe breaking some parts
