yeah you can put the power down better with a spool compared to an open centre diff and in most cases Lsd's too.

Going by your username you have a xr6, more than likely has its factory lsd if not thrashed it probably works fine.
So you won't gain anything by locking the diff.
If you want more take off lower the ratio.
