Basically, I will be swapping soon (end of summer hopefully) and I want to know if it's worth it to go with the E153 Tranny, or any other LSD combo? For you guys using just the GT tranny, do you get much 1 wheel-peel? I'll have Dr Tweak do the swap, I just want to know if it's with the extra $1200-$1750.

Thanks

eastern..torque steer is when you mash the gas, and there is so much torque going to one side that the car wants to pull, to one side or the other..rather than lurching straight forward.
i agree pretty much word for word with what the guys said.
especially if you have the $$ for it now. do it once, and be done with it.
if not, the stock tranny as long as its in good shape when you start will be fine, especially at the power level you listed (225-250whp)
im at 235whp & 270ft lbs on the stock GT tranny, and axels, with 175+k on it.
like jeff said, i do NOT baby my car, she is driven daily.
now, i wont say that the thing is never going to break...to be honest, i think if i get good traction @ the track this year, having spare axels is gonna be a key to making it back home i think..lmao...we'll see!
