My trac-loc needs to be rebuilt because I am getting the infamous one wheel peel. Can driving around and racing with the trac-loc being messed up cause more problems. Also can this hinder performance? I was thinking maybe my launch would be improved once I got it fixed but other than that I don't know.

Of course it will help the launch. If everyday driving, I wouldn't worry about it.
But it sounds like you drive it pretty hard, so I would fix it asap, before something else gives....

fwiw

Is the trac-loc a do it yourself in the drivesay kind of thing? It seems easy enough.

That is what I'm asking. What other parts can be hurt by not repairing the trac-loc?

Hurt anything else: yeah you are going to get a bald tire very fast.

I always thought that a trac lock could be done in the driveway if you take not of what shimsa re where when you remove it. Anyone?

You can do this at home. It's a pain to do, but doesn't require any special tools. You've got to get the FMS trac loc rebuild kit. I paid about 60 for it. Comes with friction modifier and a new carrier pin. For even better performance you can rearrange the clutch discs and friction discs different from the stock setup and retain your two best clutch disks. Do a search on modding trac loc or modified trac loc. This will explain it all as I do not have the time right now. It's a messy, stinky job, but it works great. I have had zero problems and my tires grip like a mutha.
