    Brad got back to me last night regarding the diff gears. He reckons skip both 3.4 and 3.7 and go straight to 3.9. After doing a bit of interweb reading I am inclined to agree with him. What do others think? He also said 3.9 will be better with a big cam down the track.

    All depends on what you plan doing with your car Rod,

    if you are going big cam & stall to make it quicker for the quarter mile I agree 100%.

    If it is just a daily or second car I personally would keep it milder.

    Don't really care if it is fast Ed, just want to liven it up a bit, and then down the track make it sound tough

    Rod it will be more lively & revs will be a little bit higher doing highway driving.

    So 3.4 is out. Now to decide between 3.7 and 3.9. Will work out the revs at 110 for each set of gears and then drive around tomorrow at those revs and see if it will piss me off.

    Basically, if you just take it a drive along the freeway in 3rd gear & you will be quite close.

    If you feel tempted to shift into 4th gear it shows you are not happy.

    Yes, was messing around today with the box to try and replicate it, but now that I know exact revs will be able to do it properly

    I reckon I will get some Superpro rear subframe bushes whilst I am at it, and also the diff mount maybe. The whole arse of this thing feels loose as a goose going around corners. I don't need it to handle like a sports car, but compared to our other cars it just does not feel right.
