I don't exactly understand your question, but gear ratio is a separate consideration from differential type (i.e. open vs. LSD). G80 is just an RPO for a limited slip rear - it does not specifically indicate any one type/brand of limited slip rear (e.g. in a 4th gen F-body this RPO was used for both the Auburn LSD and the Torsen LSD, depending on model year).

In any case, why would that be "bad for performance"?
