Are you just looking for better launch? Get a higher ratio crown wheel and pinion for your diff. It will drop your top speed (not much, who needs to be doing 200kph) but you will get away from the lights quicker. You might also have to change the little plastic gear in your speed sender unit for correct reading on your speedometer. Couple of hundred dollars and less down time. Takes about 2 hours to change the crown wheel and pinion.

You need lower ratio diff gears, not higher ones for better launch and acceleration.
