Default Differential Question

Okay, I'm curious as to how the stock 8.8 rearend works. Is it technically 1 wheel drive? If so, what is the best way to go about getting actual 2 wheel drive. Limited Slip Differential? (that is if the stock one already isn't)

Do a burnout. If theres two black marks on the road your rear is good. If not it needs to be rebuilt because all V8 Mustangs have traction lock rears (Ford's term for Positraction).
