I am going to put in some sort of lsd but I am not sure what kind to use.

Sorry if this does not sound right, I am new and trying to understand. did not realize the many variations of diffs until tonight.

I read in a post on this forum that hlsd diffs apply pressure to the wheel that has more torque. The thread talked about having one wheel off the ground and being physically stuck because the hlsd would try to put the power to the wheel in the air.

This makes some sense to me but what about if your tires are spinning on the ground as in a burn out or drifting?

how does it cope with this?

I want to be able to take corners and drift. so any info would be great.

Search for a thread titled "HLSD is awesome!"

For drift, skip the HLSD.

It depends on what kind of a trip you want. Normal LSD will do just fine, if you don't like it move on to shrooms.
