Yes, it will help you get traction at the strip. Actually, despite popular beleif it does not make the car handle like crap. It does make it a bit more squirrly. Just bear in mind you are welding on tempered steel, if you know anything about welding you know why that is bad.
it makes the car handle like crap if you do driving down anything but a straight road. It makes the cops look at you funny when you make low speed turns. And usually it makes the diff make funny noises.
If you weld those gears, the diff will not slip. In order to turn, the wheels need to rotate at different speeds. The outer tire has a bigger arc than the inner tire. So if you weld them, they can not go different speeds, and your wheels will "hop" on turns. It is also dangerous if you are going highway speeds in traffic.
