    I drift with a factory S3.73.

    I'm sure if you're drifting with an M10 you already know about the weight transfer...

        Will an M10 feel really slow with a 3.73 LSD? I have a 3.91 open and I am wondering if I should swap them. Is the 3.73 too low?
        personally i feel that mine feels slow with a 3.64... I find myself shifting constantly just to drive normally. are you tracking your car? If you are looking for any type of top speed i would look towards a 3.25.

        I just picked up a 2.93 lsd just to see what it would feel like on a 95% stock motor. i'll post results as soon as it's done.

        good luck.

            You cant slide a M10 in 3rd even with a 4.27 LSD.
            Noway.Even on really fucked up roads its close to impossible.
            2nd gear is ok though.

                I have to agree, the m10 doesn't have enough punch to break free, and maintain a slide in 3rd. For those of you that have moved to lower gearing (3.64/3.73) what are your RPM's like at 75mph?
