Post Ford 9 in. Locker or no locker?

I recently jumped into the Cobra ring big time. I have a West Coast roller on it way. I will install a 460/535 with a Tremec (Viper) 6 speed and a four point held Ford 9 in. with a 3.50 r an P. I have been out of the race car scene for about four grown son years and was, I say was, a Chevy guy.
So here is my question. Will this car preform adquatly without a posi or locker? I have been told that unless I just realy try smoke the tires that the car will launch fine with a open differential if the tire pressire is adjusted to get equal grab. Is the extra expense of a locker worth it.

Also I have been told that a locker will have a negative impact on road performance due to the light of the Cobra?????
