how short is 1st gear?....... still not short enough !!!... get about 70kph out of 1st gear
only disadavantage is the tailshaft see's more stress at less speed, for example the tailshaft see's the same revolutions at 141kph with a 4.11 diff, as it did with at 180kph with a 3.23 diff ratio so unless you plan on upgrading your tailshaft, or fitting a tailshaft loop at least, best off staying under 150kph which should be easy enough lol |

ive had 3.73's in it as well..... they were great behind a manual, but when i converted back to auto it felt like stock... im never going any lower than 4.11's behind an auto series again
