Thanks for that. For 3.45's they are still pretty sluggish of the line so what diff ratio would you rocomend to put in?

I would go 3.7's on the manuals and 3.9's on the autos, that gives you enough gearing for decent acceleration while still being ok on the highway.

Does the EECV on a automatic AU halt any gains to be made by changing to 3.9 gears? If remember correctly, Sylox said that there was not mach gained by changing to 3.9 in his automatic AU XR8 ute, as the EECV torque tags kicked in earlier or something.

fuel is not the issue : it's if you can catch me come the end of the 1/4 :eclipsee_
remind me to wear ear plugs as you'll be ringing its neck to keep up : but to be honest the 1/4 doesn't interest me at all.
