Looks fun!
Teh % lockup would be determined by the bevel of the face of the spider gears. Since 8.8 gears can be flipped around and have the same gear face on both sides, they have the same % lockup in both directions. The percentage is an expression of lockup forces in relation to input torque. More input torque, more lockup.
The separation forces of the spider gears is what determines the % lockup. If the spider gears got a sharper angle, the % would go down as the separation forces are reduced. If the gear teeth were shorter with a flatter angle, the % lockup with increase.
The spring provides an additive lockup, not a percent. If it provides enough force on the clutches to take, say, 50 lb-ft of torque to make one tire spin in relation to the other, that doesn't change with respect to input torque.
