Simple. What more important stright line speed or handling? Is money an issue?

Meth = Cheap, Faster straight line speed at higher boost levels
LSD = $$, much better handling

METH METH METH. You'll thank me later. I'm getting an LSD too, but the meth is one of the best mods I have done to the car.

Completely depends if you are talking track or drag. LSD will be felt in the corners. Meth will be noticed always but hurt you in the corners. If you are eventually going to do both but don't track then meth. I'd get an LSD first since it's a nice chunk of $$$ out of the way and I prefer the track.

LSD

I had this question on my mind for a while too... and I decided to start saving money for the LSD.

With stage 3 mods on 93 octane there is more than enough power for my car to handle in several circumstances.

Frequently I find myself feeling hard to get the power on the floor as it is. Increasing the power will certainly not help...

I think I wouldn't take great advantages from meth right now so my next mod will be the LSD.

LSD, not a question.....

It will give you a complete new car.. This is the part that the 335 is missing.

It will bring your car in the sports car leagua, as stated above, the handling of a 335 stage 2-3 car is the biggest issue. (trust me) A LSD solves a big part of this.
And it will make it possible to use the HP's you have. Without a LSD you lose so much traction and handling that adding more Hp's does not give you the bang that you are looking for...

In my case, I will only start adding meth when my upgrade turbo's are there. Before that the FMIC I have will do most of the work and currently I have much more improvement because of my M3/LSD suspension mods....

I did meth injection kit first and limited slip second. With a meth kit, the upgraded diff is really needed to put the power to the ground.

Get both, to me it does not matter which is first, just get them within a few months of each other.
