Hi Ian
An LSD would be a good mod, I went for the 3:9 diff used in the sierra diesel. It made a difference, the gears became more usable that's for sure, a nice upgrade and in-expensive if not LSD. I'm still using drums too, not bothered about rear discs really, I would rather spend money on a 'hi-spec' setup on the front tbh. When going moving onto the box it will make HUGE difference. I decidied to do after my type9 gave out. I already had the flywheel lightened and my throttle pedal adjusted for a much shorter throw, it's much more responsive now. Let me us how the mods go!
