Diff Gears

[Gunzero]

What would be the best gears for my VS
3.5s
3.9s
4.11s
NOTE i drive this car to work every day

 

[thesanchez]

none of those...
3.7 would be my oppinion! its a happy medium

auto or manual? 4.11s are generally too short for a daily driver auto, 3.9s are supposedly a good compromise on performance improvement and fuel economy. For manuals, I've heard 4.11s and even 3.9s are too short, you'll hate driving a daily with them judging by what I've heard.

Go 3.5s or less. Even 3.7's are a bit of a pain.

Do you do a lot of highway driving? 70% of my trip to work is highway, so I only got 3.45s.

well i got 3.9's in my diff and it revs around 2400rpm on the freeway. thats with a auto.i got a mate with a vx manaul with the getrad which they come out with and he has 3.7's and his is nice on the freeway and nice to change gears in as u arent changing as quickly as with 3.9's.

i got 3.73 gears, on hiway it sits about 2200,2400 rpm. They do pull when you flatten the foot and its an awesome feeling. I only take my car out on the weekends and during the week i forget how it feels when i sink the foot. Its an awesome feeling.

As of now mines getting ready for drags so before i got my diff built i researched what would be a good ratio to get.

im still undice on diff gears i have a supercharger vyv 6 ute and its manual running 3.46lsd at the moment its hard to get traction in first gear but being a gentifugal charger i think lower gears will make it alot more fun in 2nd and 3rd it revs at approx 2,400rpm at 100 im not sure wheather to go 3.9 or 3.7s's and im also not sure if u even notice the diff much between 3.46 and 3.7? i do drive the ute everyday but no that many long highway trips

Thanks for all your info guys i think ill go with 3.45s cause i use the freeway every day so and its auto just want a little more go under the foot dont really care for speed

I got 3.45 in my L67 and still get better than stock economy on the highway after i had it tuned.
But in saying that a bloke down south has 3.9 in his VT L67 (that runs 10.7sec) and he gets 900km to a tank.
