Default spool or posi

how hard is it to drve with a spool on the street with an automatic.I dont mind going slow around corners if thats all it takes. it isnt a daily driver i only drive it to the track and when its nice out. please tell me what its like and if its worth the perfomance,drag racing,because thats mainly what the car is for,i only drive it 200-300 miles a week in the summer.

If it is a car with a soft sidewall tire and you wont be driving in the rain, you should be okay. Also, what rear is this for? A spool will add a lot of stress.

I got my 9 inch in 3 weeks ago with a spool. Im like you and only drive it to the track and when it is nice out. So far I like it. It does take a little getting used to(compaired to the stocker) but At leats I dont have to worry about breaking a Posi unit that i dont have
