I bought a no-diff subframe to do an eventual drum>disc swap and since my stock (according to my owners manual & tag) 3.46 open weeps from the output flanges, I think about diff options. Everyone raves about 3.73 and 4.10 but honestly I'm thinking in the other direction.
Sure its a stock M10, but with a K&N, header, full Ansa cat delete, 5 spd & 8lb flywheel, it breaths and revs quite nicely. I run thru 1st & 2nd VERY quickly and at 70MPH Im at 3000 rpm's so Im leaning more to a 3.23. Quieter and more fuel efficient on the hwy, will IMHO take better advantage of 1st & 2nd and if the engine is ever not happy..well thats what 5 gears are for.
Make sense or recipe for misery ?
