i would say it depends on if you have a stock or modded engine
i have basically stock but big exhaust and extrators so i would have lost a little bottm end and gain top end so the diff helped bottom end heaps as now its got the power to actually spin my new 235 18's
my old 1/4 time was 16.1 @91 so top end was pretty fast for that slow time so my take off was very slow but now i can feel its so much quicker but haven't had the chance to test it yet but it kept up with a BA xr6t which was supprising
but if i could guess i would say very low 15sec quater...so about 1 whole second quicker
i will post up my next run when it happens

if you know your sitting on 2000 rpm at 100km/hr, then the easy way is...

2000/3.45x3.7=2144
2000/3.45x3.9=2260
2000/3.45x4.1=2376

so lets just say you will be sitting on 2400 with a 4.11 ratio

Does anyone happen to have the ratios of a BTR 4 speed auto? Googling and car forums doesn't seem to turn up much. :(

Pretty sure they are all the same.
That was from the FPV site, in the heritage bit.

My car seems to have lost a bit of power now, it cant chirp the tyres, even stalled up what could cause this problem.
