    GT35/40

    Diffs are the same, except the V8 diff ratio is 3.08 and the turbo diff is 3.45

    A new GT 35/40 should cost between 1800 - 2000.

    If you want top end speed, stick with 3.08. If you want acceleration go 4.11

    3.45 seems to be a good balance between the two.

    You should be able to do better than $880 for the diff
