Irrelevent.  Gary, appreciate your summations, but get 885140 (80q tests at 
GVWR), that way we all can start with some baseline of relevency.  The 
biggest argument of the above is two fold, an urq and a v8 use the same 
torsen center part number (100% interchangeable).  The 80q has the same 
wheelbase as the Urq.  The v8 is a Type 44 chassis.  

I'm up for discussing relevent topics to this thread.  Alignment's a constant 
(actually it's not mentioned, so irrelevent might be more accurate), so is 
laden weight and distribution, and cf, and acceleration, and radius, in 
885140.   Gear ratios are irrelevent to the operation of a torsen.   Change 
*any* of those constants, torque distribution changes.  Supercray?
