Default New D/S installed

Just had my shaftmasters 4" driveshaft installed today, definitely a good upgrade. My MGW shifter used to rattle and drive me crazy, now it's perfectly silent. I love it.

The car feels a little smoother and lighter under normal acceleration, and seems to pull harder when I get on it. I'll have to drive it some more to know for sure, I've only taken it up to about 50mph so far.

Now I just need to decide whether to get 3.73s and a LSD or save a few months and go straight to the X-charger. hmmmmm...

You NEED a LSD and probably gears before even thinking about pushing 350 HP with a one wheel wonder . Then go for the xcharger, im jealous

X-Charger with no LSD would be funny... One wheel peeler non-stop. At least get the LSD, you can install it yourself.

Would it really be that bad for street/daily driving without a LSD? I imagine trying to launch it for 1/4 mile runs would suck with an open diff.

It's not like I'm going to get an X-charger and then not do the limited slip, I just kind of want to get it out of the way. With all these supporting mods it seems like i'll never get around to the supercharger .

And I still have to finish appearance mods... it just never ends

the open diff will be fine for normal daily driving.
