Either in an idiot or my mechanic is.
After my s52/zf swap my 4.10 LSD was obviously not going to work as my final drive.
I opted for a 3.15 LSD which was perfect for the 2-3 miles I drove before it locked up because someone didn't fill it with oil.
After a tow truck to the shop they threw a "1000$ torsen 3.46" in which was fine for temporary. But still the gearing for hghway driving was not that pleasant.
I know torsens are not 1000 but this mechanic insisted because they never blow and everyone in autox runs them. (Good for them)
I told him I really want 2.93-3.23 LSD so I lined that up and now he's putting a 3.15 torsen.
Once again I said I want an LSD as this car will be used for daily and drifting.
He says that torsen is better for drifting because blah blah blah.
Am I an idiot? Is torsen better for drifting or not?
As I understand it is better than a posi but still acts as an open diff because it delivers power to the wheel with more traction but for drifting I want the rear to lock up and both to spin evenly so I can control the car
