AT Launching?

I have a 2009 335i coupe with a drop-in, scoops, a cat-back hpf exhaust, and Cobb stage 1.
I also have catless downpipes but they aren't installed yet.
My next mod performance wise will probably a Intercooler.
I've heard that Helix is good?
Also I might switch out the drop-in filter for a BMS DCI, but I feel like the gains are minimal.

So with those mods I will be cobb stage 2+FMIC.
With stage 1 I am already spinning in first and second. And that's on Michelin PSS's. :/

Do you think it's time for an LSD?
I already launch in 2nd gear but I feel like it slows me down a little.

1st gear is just smoke on a FBO car, don’t waste your time with it (IMO). If you spend a lot of time at the track and/or the strip, yes a limited slip would be a great upgrade. The benefits on the track are obvious, and if you’re launching it a bunch it will reduce the chances of wheelhop. If you’re more of a highway cruiser type driver, the benefits would become less pronounced.
