Will Torque Steer Still Occur with...

Will torque steer be an issue even with a good LSD and proper suspsension mods such as shocks/strust.....

I am planning to run 12 psi on a LS block and make about 280 to 300 HP.

I have seen videos of these cars having very aggresive torque steer.

Just trying to find a way to minimize this symptom.

even with a good lsd set up, you will have torque steer with that type of power. LSD means limited slip differential, so it doesn't kick in right away. it will let the car pull to one side first then it will compensate. im not 100% sure but i think im right, what i believe your looking for is a quife type of gearing.

I had the under brace and the strut bar on my last civic. I was running 12 psi, and i had pulling from side to side. Your get torque steer in any front wheel drive car really.
