Issues with my TII rear?

Hey all,

I was road racing this last weekend and around the very tight corners when I would accelerate out of a left hand turn, there was an issue with my tires. It felt like the inside rear drivers side tire would spin. The RPM's would go up and then as I straightened out, it would hook up.

Is this an indication of an LSD giving out? No idea how old the rear is but I am putting over 400 HP to it so would not be surprised.

Thanks,
Ben

you could be lifting the tire, i doubt it is the LSD because the LSD grabs better in left hand turns and would spin in right turns without trying to lock both as much(tired LSD unit).

This only started happening after I changed the diff fluid. No idea what was in there before but went with Mobile 1 synthetic 90-140W with limited slip additive already in the mix.
