Guys with I-30 LSD Tranny On A Max ??

How do you like it ?? How much wheel hopp do you get ?? You feel a difference in acceleration ?? Was it a worth while switch ??

I know people have done it...Is it worth the change ?? Does it bolt right up, and do I need different axcels ??

I have LSD on my I30t 5-speed. I don't know if you want my opinion or not?
It's not the greatest limited slip. I do notice it when accelerating hard through turns. Also when launching. Wheel hop? Not sure how LSD effects wheel hop, but when I run at the track wheel hop is not a real big problem for me. Don't know if that is because of my LSD or not. I do seem to be able to launch at higher RPM's than a Max w/o LSD.

LSD affects wheel hop little, if at all. Wheel hop will be held at bay with either stiffer motor mounts, suspension (stiffer shocks/struts), or better/different tires.

The diff will help a little with your launches, but you will notice it most when accelerating out of turns and just driving in bad weather in general.

In my SE-R, i have a viscous LSD, which undoubtedly has worn out thru the years, but I can really feel it when its wet out and I power thru turns No more stupid looking peg-leg burnouts either!

Basicly that is it but while your at it I would obviously replace the clutch and get the flywheel checked out as well.

you can also reduce axle hop by lowering the air pressure in your front tires at the track.
