LSD Question...

I'm lookin to buy an LSD for my car... I've been doin some research but I have no idea what they mean when they say the diff is 1 way, 1.5 way, 2 way, etc. Can anyone clarify this for me?

I thought it had the info there, sorry bout that.

1 way only locks during acceleration
1.5 way locks during acceleration and only a little during braking
2 way locks fully durring accel. and braking.

It's kinda dumb question but what kind of LSD does the Super Hicas have? And which LSD do drag racers use most?

Don't drag, so I have no clue. Probably clutch type

some drag cars use locked diffs, but recently I've heard 1 way clutch-type is common
