Ummmm...limited slip is posi trac.
Different levels...
Open differential: power is delivered to one wheel
Limited slip: power is delivered to both wheels unless turning (in which case the different wheel speeds of the inside and outside wheel cause enough of a torque difference to allow the clutch plates to slip). Usually done using clutches or cones or other wear surfaces.
Locker: power is delivered to both wheels at all times...regardless of whether or not the car is turning. Usually done by welding spider gears together (NOT recommended) or using a spool.

Limeted slip and positive traction are terms used by the manufacturers to lable their traction control devices. Powertrax company makes a locker conversion kit that maybe what your looking for and it won't turn the rear into a spooled type rear where you would have no differential at all.
All the power in the world don't mean a thing if you can't get it to the ground!
