Im about to buy a new gear set for my diff but cant decide 3.7s or 3.9s could someone please tell me how these would go behind a manual eb xr6 which has a motor equivalent to the dev 5 package which makes power farelly high up in the rev range. Thanks

3.7's will be fine but 3.9's will make 1st gear way too short. Go the 3.7's mate, you wont regret it.

They'll both be close enough to each other (ratio wise) for you to not notcie a heap of difference.
If you're doing some research on them, just remember 3.7's are a s**t harder to get, andmore expensive because of that, than 3.9's are.
Unless you get a skyline or pintara diff.
