Was hoping for a 3.46 but to keep costs down i am using a 3.64lsd, was going to tune her up to bout 245hp also but if its too much for a 3.64 i will keep it standard...... Anyone out there using this diff? anyone know if it will be an ok drive with it in?

i know this diff will be slower accelerating but quicker top end but how much of a difference will it actually make compared to a 3.91 lsd?

This is the best diff to use.

The 535 had this ratio as standard.
