The Stasis center diff? All it does is let the rear take more power by having a 4:1 torque bias ratio instead of the stock 2:1. And yes, it should improve handling slightly, I'd say, but not all that much.

Fact is that the mod to the torsen does not make that change 100% of the time, truth is it will still be 50/50 any time the car is going in a straight line. So dont expect more tq to be put down to the rear wheels when launching, that will not happen.
