Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - OK, so which of you guys has 4.08 gears and likes them for road courses?

I ask because last night I got jealous of DE's brake rotor post and went to Z1 to price rotors and ended up buying the friggin Quaiffe LSD. Not sure how that happened, but I got it for <$1000.00 bucks.

So if I am doing the diff I was considering the 4.08 gear option at the same time. I know the dragsters and street guys love it, but was looking for any road racers opinions. I can tell you this much, there is not one track that I go to currently that I even come close to reaching top speed. The highest speed I have gotten to is about 145 on the front straight and turn 1 of AAA speedway. Everything else I go to is well under 130, and rarely touch fifth gear on most of the courses I do.

On the same token, is there anything else I should consider doing while I have the diff installed?

Any thoughts?
