i dont know about vz's but most manual v8's with an lsd are 3.45:1...i think?
There's a few VZ SS 3.46 diffs on eBay presently.
what do you have attached to the end of the maf? just the pod or some sort of spacer?
Cheers for the info about the diff gears exactly what i wanted to know.
Im also looking at buying vcm suite at work to have a play with i got quoted $1000min probly $1200 for a dyno tune and my boss wants his 2 cars done aswell 3 cars= about 3.5k can buy vcm suit with 8 gm credits and 4 ford credits for $700us.
The pod filter is mounted stright to the MAF and that has a outside diameter of 85mm thats what size filter you would need and heres a pic.
