Well, the reason I even have the ball differential is because I have the AWD kit . When I loosen the diff. more power goes to the front wheels, reducing oversteer, and increasing understeer. When I tighten the diff. there is less slip between the back two wheels, which increases oversteer, and decreases understeer.

When tightening or loosening the diff. a very small amout will drasticaly change how the car handles. It takes a lot of experimenting to get the desiered amount of slip.
