is there any dyno information before/after quaife LSD? Fidenza? Spec Clutch? i'm interested mostly in eliminating drivetrain loss, i've got a spec clutch, fidenza, LSD, and very very beefy motor mounts. i think they might be TOO beefy...

It would be exactly .4758473845643% more efficient when comparing it to something less efficient.
Flywheel - faster revving, less initial kinetic energy, less mass to rotate at high rpm. Good in 1st, great in 2nd, okay in 3rd, negiglable in 4th.
Clutch - It won't slip and take heat MUCH better! It's actually a hair heavier.
LSD - more parasitic loss, more power to the ground (being as both wheels get the power not just one when traction fails), BULLETPROOF.

the lsd provides more parasitic loss? really?

I belive that it has to do with power being dristributed evenly through both the left and right wheels as opposed to the wheel with least resistance. Power usage at both wheels, rotational resistance through two paths, etc.

"Technically" it does.
The amount is fairly miniscule.
It has more "gear to gear" contact then a normal open differential.

Most LSD systems do have a slight parasitic loss, and I'm sure that this one does as well, but since it distributes the power more evenly to the wheels, it can help make the power that gets to the wheels more usable, especially under heavy load. The slight parasitic loss may very slightly cut down fuel economy under milder driving.
I definitely prefer to have LSD rather than not.

Umm no $h!t! Because it's not an LSD! Basically a set of clips you install in your stock diff to "simulate" the effect of an LSD.

Is it manufactured by Quaife or Torsen? Nope Tochigi Fuji Sangyo. Hence the issues. No one on here with either LSD has had one fail.
