I'd post a video but no street racing vids lol. He was pulling on me HARD at the very end but never actually caught me before the finish. Highway and he would've mutilated me by 4 or 5 car lengths but the power of shorter gears does amazing things. Especially when the 7at with 3.3 gears is faster then the 6mt 3.69 gears from factory, the 4.36 gears would be a destroyer in the 7at. I would roughly assume 20% increase In acceleration.

seeeeee no one told me he was running 4.36 gears lol

i wonder how hard it would be to swap in a set of gears for drag days and put the stockers in for when i DD it. never changed a set before.

Ridiculously hard and painful. It takes a pro shop roughly 8 hours to shim and correct everything to make it perfect. Hell, my shop can't even get mine right. 4th time its been back to the shop in 2 months but I'm in Hawaii where good shops are limited. No downtime on my car as I was smart and bought a full donor differential from a totaled 350z. That $100 has saved me 2 months of downtime on my car. I've got my OEM non-VLSD diff and then I've got the one being built with 4.08 gears and Quaife LSD. Takes me about an hour and a half to swap them out now with a lift which would be a good option for you.

soooo go buy a rear diff setup out of a wrecked 307Z and put new gears in there. then just swap diffs for race days. sounds like it's do-able and i have access to many junk yards with higher end cars

also sidenote: god i miss Hawaii lol that was a good trip to take. stayed with my friend who is in the air force and stationed down there.
