LSD Help
In my opinion the more both wheels grab also increases your chance of whipping a 180.
I NEVER give my MM throttle around a wet or even damp curve/turn until straight, it would not end well, and never more than 1/4 throttle at most on warm dry pavement powering out of even he slightest curve. My F150 has open diffs and never once has the rear end broke loose unless the weight of the truck pushes me sideways from aggressive driving. With 4WD I have plenty of traction when needed and I would never want limited slip on it as we get decent snows here. It’s a great feeling of safety and nerves when I’m good and used to the unpredictable car.
With the old Trilogy and only 461 HP I had and plenty of loonngg burnouts along the way the carbon clutch packs never failed to last 40,000 miles. You could pretty much set the clock on the next embarrassing one tire fire.. I honestly can’t recall how much force it took to spin one wheel lifted. The concern is really more how much it takes to stop it from turning when the pinion is spinning it.
There really is nothing else you can do besides a diff upgrade. A new standard size spring will work wonders. No matter how hard an old spring is to install, obviously springs wear. I’m not at all a fan of crushing an F150 spring to fit like I’ve read over the years, plenty have done it, but I never saw the purpose. You completely change the characteristics of the spring’s design the second you alter it and every tiny fraction will yield it’s effectiveness of design, to me it’s common sense physics, but that’s just my opinion.
Like I said, never an issue lasting a good amount of time on decent power, decent street tread, rarely on stickies, regular old Motorcraft fluid with modifier, cobra clutches, and a new stock spring. Honestly I got the same mileage out of the stock clutches before boost even.
But who am I besides another internet opinion? Go with your gut.
