less torque steer with quaife?

[longcoeur at yahoo.com (P L)]

Well after I got Ron to Install the Bolt kit and 80% LSD kit on my 9a, I saw immediate changes.... 
 
1) stopped pulling to one side when doing off the line full throttle pulls...
 
2) both wheels spin in gravel in first/second instead of having one wheel pulling, Yanking the car around and me having to overcorrect on each gear.
 
3) smoother acceleration feeling, loving the look of the front end lifting evenly when pushing gears through their pattern on dry pavement.
 
4) more torque to ground with less "burn tires" syndrome.
 
5) got great power to pull away to get on /off /pass highway speeds, where before timing was utterly important (read # 1)
 
6) prefer 195/60/15 against 205/50/15 with the LSd kit,  with the 15x7/205's  turning and curbves where always a "better hold on tight the steering" where with 15x7/195's this "I am going to yank back at ya in a curve feeling is completely gone. not quite sure why but the only change being the tires I would assume it was the size that made a difference and 195's make driving the rocco with lsd MUCH more fun than with the 205's in curves as well. go figure.

A question for those of you who are lucky enough to have a LSD in your
roccos: does your car exhibit less torque steer than before? More? None at
all?

Drivability-wise this is a big downside to my current setup. I'm pretty
happy with the amount of power I'm making but it's a pain to have to hold
the steering wheel so tightly to try and go in a straight line under full
or even part throttle.

If a Quaife would make this go away then that would be just one more
reason to get one. The tough part is coming up with the money ;)
