diff gears

[impulsesv6]

wondering if anyone has changed diff gears.

ive got some 3.46's ready to go in just wondering what ppl think of them.
and any probs with auto boxes

3.46s from what ive been told are perfect any steeper and you may have problems with the A5 box, very interested to hear ur results because i have a set in the garage too.

There is a lot of diff gears sitting around. Send them my way fellas.

have heard its like adding 70hp, but you lose power on the dyno.

How would you lose power?

youll probably have to stop in at holden to have the computers software changed to the different gears, so it will re-alter the shift points and correct the speedo

i figure because the gears will increase acceleration it will reduce the top speed of the car, maybe something to do with that

nope - tuners can do that
