Has anyone had any experience with the Phantom Grip LSD?
I see a couple of guys are using them autotesting and am looking into getting an LSD for my autotester so any advice would be great.

5 years sine the OP and I have the same question. I did read that the cross pin is the weak point, but I have seen uprated pins available.

Is this a worthwhile exercise for a track car with regards to the cost, compared to a LSD with the crown wheel and pinion gears that is needed as well for the LSD ?

I have a friend who ran one in an autocrosser, and he reckons it's not worth it.
Works fine when first installed and graunched up tight, but once the PG has worn a groove in the diff pin it loses effectiveness.  Cutting a groove in the diff pin is a bad thing - it further weakens the weak spot, and intriduces very fine metallic particles to the gearbox/sump.

Thanks for the feedback. Had that in mind, but never hurts to ask.
