I also sensed that something was curtailing my performance even during rolling burnouts. I figured it was the transmission shifting, but I didn't have enough space to let it play out completely.

Obviously I need to do some experimenting.
Ours was shall I say very spirited performance wise considering it still had a front dif that was grinding itself to bits with every inch travelled, it was a very tired SVX tranny that had some slippage issues and we were racing on 1/3 Ice/hard snow pack, 1/3 slush and 1/3 dry pavement. It simply booked considering. As for the rear dif, no one wheel spins in our case.
