I have some question to ask
1. I have lighten flywheel from the stoke from 19lb to 14.5 lb my differential is 3.73 I feel like 3 gear didn't have power what can i do but the 1 gear and 2 gear is very fast

2. any body who lighted flywheel on M20 2500 how much ratio of differential you use

3. I think I will change my differential to 4.1 is it good for M20 2500 or not because I think 3 gear is no power and very slow

4. and is the top speed decrease when you install ligth flywheel ?

MY engine had modify with header , chip . Thanks

3. With a 4.1 differential and the garbox in my 323i (not sure how it compares to a 325i) it works ok except that 1st is short and it uses about 3000rpm in 5th at 60mph. Up to you if that is ok, for me it is.
