3.9 diff gears n LSD go in on Tuesday can't Wait.

This is for a 5 speed auto Wl caprice v6 upgrading from the stock 2.87 gears.

But I'd like to know, would you recommend going truetrac over a 4pin LSD for an extra $250?

Tell me more about truetrac.

Please advise me on what I should request to make sure I get the best out of the diff rebuild.

Any advise relating to diffs, LSD, truetrac, etc... please reply below :)

Cheers
Dave.

I have a trutrac. Are you getting the Harrop version, or the Eaton version? Not that its going to matter, but the eaton version is rated to a lesser power figure than the Aussie Harrop verrsion.

I can get my hands on the eaton version.
I'm not going to be abusing it like doing burnouts or anything like that.
I just want a Better longer lasting setup so was wondering if truetrac is the way to go or will I be fine with an LSD?

Cheers

LSD, 3.7's and it goes pretty damn good haha.

That being said, i wouldn't mind higher, but this will suit the cam i'm putting in. Don't expect massive gains from it, but you can definitely notice.

But it revs at 2100RPM @ 100KPH (but then again you have a 5 speed, mines 4).

That's great to hear, I hope mine goes all smooth tmrw. :)

2100rpms is great at 100, I calculated mine and I got 2700 so I hope that's not correct.

I have 2.87 atm and @ 100km/h I'm sitting on 1750rpms.

Did you put brand new gears in yours?
