Default For those who Installed a LSD on a Base

So i have been looking around and could find the answer to my question. But for those who have installed an aftermarket LSD on their base 350z, did you feel more power at wheels meaning quicker take offs or something along those lines compared to the stock differential that was initially in there? I would think that you should notice a little bit but nothing great and I know it doesn't make HP, just trying to see if there is more or less HP loss in the tranny. Thanks.

You will notice a significant difference when powering out of turns. Not real butt HP, but better application of power and control ability. I noticed this after changing from the weak Nissan LSD on my performance model.

you will not notice any meaningful difference till you start taking turns, or launching the car

there is zero change in power

So what i got out of this is that same HP just now there are two wheels spinning out of the launch instead of one. So how do you reduce the loss of HP through the transmission?
