LSD in an NA car? 200 1989

Currently my car has the stock B230F engine. Even if I were to put a larger exhaust system and a the ipd VX or Unitek V15 camshaft in the car, would a limited slip be worth adding to the car? I can already spin the wheels when cornering hard and under full accleration, but unless it's raining outside or I'm doing something really stupid, the wheel spin does not last long and doesn't really impact my driving (it is a 114-hp motor, after all). I doubt that would change much even with the added speed from a larger exhaust and more aggressive cam.

Is it worth it to put a LSD on anything less than a turbo (or highly-modded NA) engine? I'm tempted to call up a local 4x4 shop to get prices, just to see how they react to my queries for a Volvo.
