A couple people mentioned the O2 sensors a little past halfway down the page. Plus it looks like the link he provides is a referral one, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets paid for it.
Interesting...I think I'm gonna try the 4 sample packets for $20 and if it doesn't work, then I'll chalk it up to BS (although aggressive marketing, which is killer)

I can't imagine a small amount like that will ding your O2s, some of the other brands (Torco), you have to put a shit load in your tank

I just noticed that I passed 100 posts, is that like passing the finger painting final in 1st grade? Passing 5,000 would then be like passing the finger banging final in high school

I agree that higher octane gas is the way to go, but wouldn't it be nice to have a cheaper, and handy alternative chillin in your trunk?

No, the final drive is the same on those (3.06 or something for manuals?). They offer the 3.46 ones, but I think you need the whole unit for those, which costs over 3k. I figured these cars have enough torque as it is. I got it installed at Fluid, and it took about 6 labor hours I believe.

yea, i was thinking if i would get the higher ratio but then the engine runs harder when crusing and eats up more gas. applying power to both wheels just jazzes things up enough. did u have to send your old one in to them?

Nope, the old diff is sitting in my storage closet now. Here are some pics of the LSD install. Doesn't look like an easy task!
