a posi, also called t-lok, actually turns both the back wheels instead of stock v6s whcih only turn one wheel...it helps alot with traction plus if ya get gears with it too...you will feel the difference immediately

so like in my mind, locking both tires which helps with traction, would gain in like better acceraltion? not horsepower, but like takin off 0-60 for example

the gear ratio will improve acceleration (4.10s accel quicker than 327s) the posi locks the end so both rear wheels spin and you get equal displacement of power on both sides
