Kleeman LSD

Guys ...

Kleeman quote you can get up to 0.3 off your 0-60 times with this puppy... seems pretty impressive if this is the case - would you guys agree?

Also is the unit fitted with additional colling plate / fins ??

Regards Steve.

Steve:

I am not sure any members have had only the LSD modification. Most of us that decided to have this modification completed, did so in an attempt to get additional HP(K2 or K3) to the ground. I will tell you that in the 20-30 minutes that I've had my car since it was returned from Kleemann (yeah, you read that right), I do feel a difference. When you get on it, the car seems to lift up about 3" and then just rockets off. Very little fuss and very little wheel spin. I assume this is due to the LSD unit that was installed.

I know what you're thinking, "ok, this guy has only 20 minutes with his new Kleemann mods. and now he's an expert............... ". Actually, I was thinking the same thing but then I realized that I may be the only member that responds to this thread. So I figured, "who's going to call me on this?"

Thanks Rock - !!

Great to hear you got your Uber - beast back... Any more feedback would be very welcome on its overall performance... i.e. seat-of-pants dyno assessment...

Rgds Steve.

I agree with Kleemanns statement as well as what Rock said about the car lifting up and then just rockets off. Actually mine feels really crazy because 60-80mph i would downshift to 3rd and then hammer the gas just a little bit and i'd literally snap my headback. Pretty crazy but i love the torque!
