96 M6 Z28 3.42 Gears (Rearend Question) HELP!

Alright, went to the track, never had this problem before, usually when I burn out on my regular tires both spin and I never see one stop. Now I know sometimes the posi will transfer torque to one wheel. Okay so heres the story, went to the track and I just started to run slicks, 10bolt with 3.42s. I heat them up, okay all looks good, but then another time I did it the driverside rear tire stopped while the pass side one kept spinning, then my right tire spins on the 60'. Is this a prob with my diff or is it normal? How do I know I have a posi, always thought I did.

Gone, so in other words the posi is not going to spin both tires all the time or when I put alot of torque behind it? I was wondering why I was spinning the hell out of the soft compound 10" slicks. So that is the whole problem huh? Whats a good pose? Eaton?

It doesnt do this all the time, only did it with the slicks on when heating them up and then after I launched with slicks heated.

RPO description

Look for the RPO tag on the drivers door this is the sticker with all the 3 digit numbers and letters. You need to look for a G80 and that is a positraction, limited slip.

If it doesn't say it, then it doesn't have that option.
