A limited slip will give you two wheel power on take off the majority(almost all) of the time, but still be quiet and driveable in tight situations and cornering. You will have a better unit than the G80 it cam with. Also, the Detroit locker functions different than the factory locker- it is stronger but noisier and less transparent.

I'd say go with a detriot if you have one of these your garented to have both tires spinning every time. and it doesn't make all that much noise and it doesn't really hinder your steering. pluss it doesn't have clutch packs that you can toast.
