aren't you supposed to know these things?

1. Positraction is General Motors terminology... we don't have a GM differential

2. We have a Limited Slip Differential, which allows some deviation between tire speeds (with Posi, both rear wheels spin the same speed all the time). LSD > Posi for any racing where turning is involved, Posi > LSD in a straight line

3. More specifically, we have a Viscous type LSD. Most important to know about this is that it is not rebuildable.

4. The break away difference, I'm pretty sure, is how much deviation in speed the differential allows between the two wheels.
