You will be slower that you would run with an LSD

Even if you can manage a nice start (without the LSD), just wait until you shift to second. With that much HP, if you don't ease-up a LOT on the gas, you will fishtail...guaranteed. The LSD will allow you to be more aggressive on the shift, saving mucho time.

I have ran on Street Tires with my current set up ( no LSD ) and my first run i didnt really let up at all... lol and defently didnt have traction but did not fishtail. My 2nd run i didnt do to bad. I had much more traction due to feathering the gas and only dumping at about 3500 rpm. Im just trying to gauage how these new drag Radials will do without LSD? And Is warming the Tires Possible on a Twin Turbo Base Model ( without LSD).

Racers post 1/4 times in the same thread. Each time slip contains 1/8 mile times. That should give you a reference point.

You can still get decent traction with a base. I managed a 1.81 my first night out on slicks in my base model. You definitely need to be careful of how high you launch because with that much power traction will be a little tougher than my NA set up. good luck though!

I would certainly go with an LSD in your situation. No question.

You don't need a LSD.....Injected is on a stock LSD and we all know what that car is capable of.

If you're not a professional driver, an LSD helps. No one can argue that. Even if you are, it is probably going to help.

Wanna fight ...This was discussed a while back with all us drag racers and we all agreed the stock LSD is just fine for drag racing. I'm a retard when it comes to computers so I can't link the thread.....I think it was titled LSD?

All base models have open differentials.
