I know in real term....in real life a LSD is invaluable to a v8, to control the torque to the rear wheels.

They allow the wheels to roll at different speeds by redistributing the torque and avoid the car being pushed 'sideways'.

I understand the principle of a LSD in accelleration I just do not know how best to set up the other two settings for maximum effect.

This is the techincal nature of the game which adds a cool element and makes for a great feeling when you eventually find yourself with a finely tuned and well balanced car to drive!! Just having trouble with traction and tire wear right now!
