I'm thinking about installing the quaife limited slip diff on my 05 GT 5 spd, has anyone had this installed and if so do they see a difference? Also, what was the install time? Any improvement in bad weather, rain, snow? Thanks!

the one's who do have it like it... it does help. it will help in all conditions with less torque steer...

Ditto to everyone who has one likes it. I no longer have my GT, but my srt-4 came with a lsd and I love it.

Thanks guys! So what do you think is a fair installtion time for the LSD?

Also, can you all solve one ongoing debate I have with several of my friends and fellow car enthusiats....I have often heard and even read that the SRT-4 engine rated at 220/230 hp was rated at the wheels and not the engine and that the real HP at the engine is much higher? Is this true?

Anyways, thanks again!

SRT-4 is rated at the wheels. Stock at the crank hp is 265. With Stage 2 and some bolt ons I'm running 315 at the crank.

thanks for info- $600 is steep but it sounds like most who have it think its worth it.
