A 3.45 diff would be a bit of a waste if it wasn't a lsd. My wagon used to spin too easy on a 3.27 single spinner. Second and third were the best though, geez I miss that box sometimes, very jealous hehehe.


Yeah it would be a lsd or lockwrite.Need to catch up soon and raid ya brain on cams again...

Thx for the info on the diff's guys.

That means there is hope for my Eb s1 Xr8, with extractors, k & n filter, big exhaust, and i think that might be all, not sure, haven't opened up the engine. :mrgreen:
