Default I dont think something is right

the other day, I did a burn out and noticed one tire mark which was on the passenger side tire and than later that night I did a race from a dig, people say only my right tire spun and my car was going right as I was taking off, traction control was off. I dont know if something is wrong with my posi or traction control?

You are correct, it is not right for just one wheel to spin. I would suspect the posi has issues, how many miles on the rear?

Traction control is pretty rudimentary and doesn't control individual wheels like that. The best way to see if it's something you can do is drain the fluid in the diff, refill with Torco RGO 85w140 and add a little less than 2 oz of type "F" friction modifier. Take the car for a ride to mix stuff up. Do a couple of slow hard turns and see if the back end clunk or chatter. Add a little more friction modifier if it does. Recheck adding just enough that it doesn't make noise on turns anymore. If that doesn't fix it you need an Eaton True Track
