Default Do I have a Torson rear end?

Got another rear end for my 00 Camaro z28 and upon pulling the rear cover I know it's a posi but I don't know what one, no pics but I do have what looks like 5 or 6 small yellow springs in the middle of the carrier, what rear do I have torson or arburn? (SP?) and if it's a torson do I need LSD additive?

If it has springs then its a clutch style posi and needs additive. The Torsen has no springs or clutches in it. Just a bunch of worm gears, you should be able to see them. No additive for the Torsen.

That rear sounds like it came out of an LT1 car.
