My city is mostly highway so a 3.75 would be ideal. Plus i can't really sustain anything above 100 without getting that voice in my head saying revs too high. Lol not that i want too but id like to see what she can do.DENY IGNORANCE!

The M42 and SR20 have similar gear ratios with their transmissions and a big thing to do is put a 4.6 on an SR20 car to drift in third gear. so a 4.45 should give about the same wheel speed with getrag 240.
If you go to Tomei USA's website on the left side there is a wheel speed calculator so you don't have to do that math to figure what rear end will work best with your car.
