I'm not talking about handling grip, I'm talking about getting more power through the front wheels, which makes it act like a FWD car and adds a ton of understeer. Instead of rotating under power like a RWD car, it wants to push under power. Same deal under braking with the center diff linking the front to rear wheels.

Since the car was rediculously loose under power after all the motor work, I had to tighten it way up. Now I can simply adjust the center diff to higher lock up and dial out the oversteer, which means I can free up the car's suspension the way it was before the tranny swap.
