Yes a mechanical LSD will help, but the real world value of it "on the street" is minimal.

My point still stands. If your concern is acceleration and grip you will spend less money to buy an X-drive car and add even stickier tires than you would to buy a mechanical LSD.
STOP IT! STOP! DON'T TRY AND USE LOGIC, INTELLIGENCE AND RATIONAL THINKING TO AN INTERNETZ FORUMZ...

Haven't you read the rulez, you're not allowed to do that!
