Hi Guy's,

Almost complete with this conversion ,
Which diff ratio would u recommend for this conversion?? Main focus is getting 1/4mile times not too worried bout highway driving as its not an everyday car.

Currently has on a 4.10 Lsd ..

u = you!
Most important thing about the diff. is that it's at least a medium case type. Can't imagine a small case lasting too long with an S50 in front of it.
4.1 is not going to be far out, but worth considering the number of gear changes that you're going to have to make, if 1/4 mile is your main objective.
