do the diff, at least 3.73

My list would be

First
Exhaust and Extractors/headers
Short shifter
3.7 - 3.9 LSD
OTR and Tune

then later on cam , charger , turbo etc

Cool thanks guys, what is the factory diff ratio btw?

 

[Immortality]

Factory diff ratio with T56 transmission is 3.46:1

Go see Tony @ Steelie gears in Otahuhu. He'll sort it out.

I agree on the short shifter, Ripshift are generally considered the best however you can get a clone of ebay for 1/2 the price and they seem to be just as good.

I would suggest you talk to Wayne @ Protune in Manukau about header/exhaust and possibly a tune to suit. He specialises in the LS series engines.
