I installed one in a Spitfire diff and from what I could tell, it made
very little difference.  Needless to say, it is now in someone else's
hands.

Some will tell you it is great and works well.   I think it is probably
a case of wishful thinking.

Someone in this list installed one a few years ago, haven't heard since.

Just by looking at the parts and not testing one, yes for short term it
will 
provide some limited slip action.  Long term it will wear out the diff
housing 
and side gears.

A real posi uses a cone clutch or a stack of 4 clutch plates per side.
The 
Phantom grip has the effective power of 1 plate per side.
