Default Should my Torsen rear be doing this?

Alright I know that when the rear wheels are off the ground and spinning one wheel, the oposite wheel is suposed to spin the oposite direction. When I spin my passenger side forward the oposite side does that but when I spin it backwards the oposite wheel doesnt spin or it looks like maybe it wants to. The driver side does the same as pass side. Is this right?

I am not too sure.. when i get my car in the air and spin one tire the other one won't spin but when i burnout it leaves two nice tracks i am not sure if my diff is torsen though.. no gm tags or serial numbers on it i think it was replaced with an aftermarket one do you know if you get both tires spinnin when on the ground?

Im not sure. It feels like they both spin. I am sure its a Torsen though I know that much.

well i don't know much about the torsen rear end but something isn't workin right.. i would try to lay down some tracks and make sure both are spinning and if they are i would not worry too much unless the rear is making noise.. worst case put a 12 bolt in

Torsen's act like open diffs when in the air. Do get too bent about it. Leaving two black marks is the best way to tell if it works.
