Quaife differential and putting more power

So my question is does the Quaife differential help in putting more power to the wheels.? In other words, If I had an open differential and my C63 was making 439rwhp, after installing Quaife will my car dyno more?

Nope. Only if you put the Quaife sticker on the side of your car...

Flawed question. The LSD will make the car more quicker in acceleration front point A to point B in the right circumstances such as on a circuit and hard straight line acceleration by transferring the power to the wheels more evenly and consistently.

Right, because of the added gearing reducing the power transfer efficiency. I wouldn't suspect that much loss though.
