I do know that a turbo will make craze torque steer. but what i want to know is, is it managable? i figure i am only gonna be HITTIN it on wide open stretches, will a lsd be needed? i know a heavy clutch and flywheel will be needed, and some stronger axles, but how important is the lsd? a lsd will be about 2k i am guessing installed, and i don wanna spend money on what i dont need... thanks for the help peace Slow ass svt
