Default Do I have posi, locker, or limited slip??

With both rear tires off the ground and turning one tire by hand, both tires turn @ the same time @ the same speed.
Since I live in the desert, sometimes there's sand on the street corners, I noticed that when I turn right, the right rear tire always seems to spin on the sand as if it's trying to spin @ the same speed as the outer tire.

Torsion (ALL LS1 F-bodies had this unless optioned otherwise.)

If not, you have the optional Auburn unit, which is a SLP option only thing.

Right. LT1 cars use the clutch units which require the additive.

Pull your SLP build number and specs. I don't think there is a RPO for the Auburn.

VIN decoder?

Sorry no RPO for auburn on the list. For the Specs you will have to contact SLP with your build # they will be able to tell you.
