Heh yeah I got tired toward the end but yeah I'd group that in the locker type. That's not to be confused with the ABLSD setup some Nissan trucks have which essentially uses the brakes (not an lsd unit) to keep wheelspin at bay. Thanks for reminding me about those!

Yeah, using selective braking for traction control offroad actually works quite well. I've 'wheeled with some stock Toyota FJ Cruisers that do amazingly.

But, when the goal is speed, using braking for traction control is kinda' counter productive........thats why the first thing that I do after I start my car is turn off traction control....LOL Its too bad that custom tunes won't turn it off by default, but allow you to turn it on when needed......

But I really like the Ected, and I hope to install one when I do gears.

Cool, it'll be interesting to see how that will work for you. I will be going the helical route with some 3.73's.
