Power loss with LSD and HFC?
Power loss with LSD and HFC?
I used to think my evo was pretty peppy with the mods I had the mods below in my sig minus the LSD and HFC. I had the HFC and LSD installed around the same time and after they were installed it seems the car doesn't have the throw you back in the seat feeling like it used to. It still boosts fine and the RPM's seem like they climb up just at fast but It feels like a lost a significant amount of torque. Has anyone had this issue after they installed an LSD in their 03/04 or after installing a HFC? I had the car tuned by Sean Ivey before the LSD and HFC so I dont think a tune is the issue.
You will lose a little power to the ground with the installation of the LSD, this is expected. You will also lose a little from the HFC, so all in all, expect a decrease of about 10-15whp with both items installed. Hey, at least you have more front end traction now! 
How does an LSD decrease power output to the ground?

There is more drag, and heat losses associated with a limited slip differential than that of an open differential. I am assuming he went from a straight pipe to HFC

I would be more than happy to put on a tp again but after I was behind my friends catless car you could smell it two blocks away and it really bothers anyone behind unfortunate enough to be behind you. Also in NY recently there have been a couple of instances of cops checking for cats. The whole point of the post really was to see if the power loss was caused by the cat alone or by the LSD and HFC.

Maybe some people behind me on the road have
