All and all I think its a +
LSD does not hurt you in the turns, in fact that is where it helps you the most. It keeps the outside wheel on pace with the inside wheel via mechanical, viscous, clutch type means. LSD applies power from the wheel that is slipping to the other wheel that has more traction. When turning the outside wheel will have the most traction as the inside wheel has a greater tendency to lift.
