I will be getting the Quaiffe LSD late next week. My I/C pump is the kleemann/Johnson pump. I have been trying to decide whether it makes sense to get the Renntech pump upgrade with the additional heat exchanger. I don't think I am having heat soak issues though, so I am not sure whether or not it is worth it for me..

please post up your thoughts on the LSD. i dont know if you need to change to renntech but maybe just add a heat exchanger. i ran my car 4 times on the dyno and only lost 8hp. the last time i dynoed i lost around 20hp on the second run. so it works like it should if that helps you any.
