So how is the 3.46 compared to the 3.08 take off and cruising wise ?

Note, its 3.46 cause i put in a VT M80 diff. If you were looking to do a similar ratio change for your diff it would be 3.45...

But yea, they are great. noticeable improvement in pick up off the line. Much more responsive around town cause the car is no longer labouring. cruising? excellent have it in 5th at 100 and it puts the engine in the zone where it can still accelerate if you squeeze the throttle.

Best of all is the improvement in fuel economy! standard ratio is actually really bad for loading up the engine, no wonder why 5L's are pretty average on fuel when they have stock diffs.

Thanks for that. My diff is getting pretty noisy...almost to annoyance...and I'm thinking of a ratio change when it get it rebuilt. 3.45 sounds the go.
