Default Power Lok LSD expectations

I've read about LSD types but I am unclear about what the Jaguar Power Lok does and does not do compared to the open diff (as well as other LSD). I am ready to obtain a rebuilt rear diff from Coventry West to obtain the much higher 4:01 rear gear for perkier performance and it comes in the Power Lok unit.

Here are some scenarios:

1. I make a hard, 90 degree right turn at 20 MPH and floor the gas pedal half way through to get the car into first gear. Any difference? Perhaps I can floor it in the beginning?

2. Tight canyon roads where you may encounter some gravel or sand in the turns.

3. Driving in rain

4. Driving in snow

In any of those conditions you are less likely to break traction if you have an LSD. But, if you DO break traction, the car will be more likely to slew sideways.
