for your and mine v6, the rear right tire only has power to the ground...gts and the rest have rear wheel power...the t-lok is possi traction, it takes the power and puts it to both wheels..so then when u do a burn out, both wheels spin and not just the right one, and you dont look like an idiot and if anything, im pretty sure it IMPROVES your traction......at least one would think so
oh, and it is an lsd...i thought u wer talking about the drug for a second there

to find out the gears you have in your car now you will HAVE to go to my website. I have a program in the downloads section called "dragmath" You can find out the gears you have from that program. You will need to know a few things. 1. your tires size, 2. a rpm at a given speed. 3 the gear's ratio you're in.

So basically if you put you have 25" tires at 50mph @ 3500 rpms in 3rd gear which is 1.27 you can find out want gears you have. if you need help just give me the info and I'll do it for you. Oh ya my site is www.rdmotorsport.com

Here comes a stupid question. I have traction control. Now all that does is limit the power going to the wheels correct? The trac loc. Does that act as a lsd? Forgive me
Yes, T-lok is a limited slip. And your trac control has no effect on your new gear and possi install. I have an Auburn limited slip possi, but t-lok does the same thing.
