Ok - I always assumed for the go-fast stuff you'd want to keep the front open or limited slip at most, so that you can power through the turns and not worry about it pushing you. But I've heard from a few people lately about spooling the front and leaving the rear open, and that that makes it turn easier? Doesn't make any sense to me since then the front is forcing both wheels to turn at the same speed and you get the dreaded understeer. What is the real story with this? Is locked front and open rear a better approach than open front and locked rear?
I know selectables can help with this quite a bit, but if I'm coming up on something where I'll want the lockers it'd be nice to not have to slow to a crawl to get them engaged. I do not want to run a conventional air, cable, or electric locker, but I am considering the ECTEDs since they are limited slip and can engage "fully locked" mode at high speeds.
And no I'm not just going to make it 2wd and lock the rear
