FD's have a Thorsen type limited slip. This type has spider gears that transfer the power to both rear axles.
As stated above, many whom drag race are forced to switch to a clutch type differential, as the stock thorsens will brake under high RPM launching. I broke 3 spider gears on a 5500 RPM launch on ET streets.
The 87-88 Turbo II had clutch type LSDs that swap directly into FD rear ends and are perported to be a strong as the KAAZ aftermarket LSDs. I just installed one but have yet to test it out.
