A bone stock KA24E needs a limited slip. So yes, you'll need the extra traction with the extra ponies

We all know chicks dig horsepower, not traction.

Personally I think traction is a priority, but I'm weird like that. VLSD or not, it was the FIRST modification I did to my car. I'll probably upgrade to something better later, but even a $60 junkyard VLSD is better than peg-legging your way around a track.
