20" wheels vs 18"s will have a much bigger negative effect on acceleration than an LSD (if the LSD has any effect at all other than controlling wheel spin). Bigger wheels add unsprung weight and increase rotational mass requiring more power to move that mass...
Yes and that was what i wanted to say. LSD would help by controling the wheel spin but the 20" are so big and have so fat tire on the back that it in fact diminished the 'help' of the lsd.
