    is your car auto or manual, any other mods? what do you want it for (burnout comps, off street drags track use, daily)

    i'm no diff expert but I'd say an LSD with 3.9 gears if it's auto. i got told that 3.9s were too tall for a manual tho. any change in diff gears will need a speedo corrector kit.
