No, if anything it might kill off the line acceleration. It makes your car more controllable with really fast motors, because it helps eliminate wheel spin.

Packing the gear diff with grease doesn't make it limited slip, what it does do is, when you making a hard turn, and one wheel lifts, it will unload, and put no power to the other wheel. Packing the diff helps transfer the power to the other wheel, so the lifting wheel doesn't unload as bad. I was just playing today, and decided that this is a 'must do' if your gonna use the stock diff.
