mine isnt an auto, but I got 3.9's

I have only run twice since the diff... first time I ran slower, cos I wasnt expecting the the extra gear change - then fudged it.

P.S - your cutting it very close with running the diff in... do you plan to get any sleep on friday night? or will you be out cruising all night?

i scored a set of second hand gears for $50, i wasnt going to spend money on a new set till i was sure it is the ratio i want to stick with, so i dont have to really worry. it has new bearings and seals but im sure they will be fine.

but im sure fri night will be late as we are going to mini spool ^jase^'s diff too

, the things we do for fun, lol
