Whatever your brakes can hold. Usually it's a traction issue. I think most launch between 1800 and 2100 rpm's. I launch much lower because I have a one wheel peeler. I can however spin the tires to 70mph with no problem.

HAHA now that is funny.
I have the same thing...complete with Limited-slip wording(and price) on widow sticker and LS tag on diff housing....I just love my Ford LS rear end I paid extra for....POS for sure. Nothing like a loud exhaust, black and white(tire) smoke, and the insulting single black stripe.
YEAH that is really cool..

Does Ford make a habit of this? Only 28K and running it the way I bought it. Also did have it checked when they were replacing the "out of round" driveshaft that Ford also decided to give me with the build. The dealer told me "working as designed".
Thanks for the advise but lets just call it what it is, a cheap rear-end. But it gets the truck going so I figure Oh well. Just have to be careful in the rain.."I AM THE ONE WHEEL PEEL KING....!!!" I think that is good? Right???? NOT!!!

it is not a cheap axle. it is on of danas great axles. if nothing else, due the fluid yourself. a one wheel peel is not normal for a ls axle. thats why it is called a LIMITED slip.

I changed the diff. fluid on my 2005 limited slip and didn't add any friction moidifier.Before this it wouldn't even turn both wheels on wet grass. Dealer said this was normal. Yea right. Test drove in figure eights after no noise or clutch chatter. Did a burnout two black stripes on dry pavement!
