it depends how u drive. if you find that the car is spinning out too much tighten up the from diff a lil bit. in the end u would probably be better off getting a ball diff up front so that u can adjust it.

you should tighten that front one, but not as tight as in the back. i would pack silly puddy in it, simply put the more you put in the tighter it will be. you should put just enough in there so that if u spin one wheel, both will not spin in the opposite direction. it should be tight to where it stops quickly and does not spin freely. Also work on your throttle and just learn how to drive your car. each car handles differently and part of it is finding the right way to work with your car so play with it and see what happens.

yeah man good work. imo for drift, diff tuning is the second on the list of having the greatest impact. first being tire choice.
