differential switch

Before I bought my 03 MSC I did some research and swear I saw an aftermarket part that actually switched the front drive wheels so the power was on the tire with the most traction. Correct me if I'm wrong, but stock power transfer is to the wheel with the least amount of traction. That means, if I'm turning to the right the power will be applied to the inside tire; the one with less weight on it. I know there is a LSD you can get, but I don't think that's what I saw. Price tag if I remember correctly was around $7K installed. Any idea what I might have seen, or has driving my awsome new car making my head spin?:impatient...oh ya, if I'm not crazy, where can you buy/research this mod?
