I used to have a 2.78 diff and a commodore 5 spd box in a HR ute.
She was a real cruizer on the highway. hardly any rev's.
Can you get ratios like that for VS's?
I know the one in it is a 3.08 but it would be more ecconomical on the highway with something like a 2.78.
It is not like there is a lack of takeoff power.
I'd hate to have 4.11 ratio with the engine reving its tits off at 110 klm/h wering everything out faster and using more fuel.
i would love to know the answer to this too! .. would it use more fuel at lower revs, or would the computer thing pump in more fuel to make up the lack of revs? .. so would you really be saving in fuel getting a 2.78 ratio? .. as i use my car mostly for highway driving, so a 4.11 ratio is kinda silly IMO.. but maybe a 2.78 or something is something to think about?
