Default whats the best lsd/ratio setup

Hi everyone. Ive done a good bit of work to my car . As I get ready to get it out of storage for Spring. I am wondering how to improve the factory LSD. I have a GT 06 model. I want a setup that is very tough for the power numbers I am putting out. And a ratio that is good for highway driving but alot better for trips down the dragway! Any help? And with ideas please include company names and exact part #'s if possible. Thanks, Robert

3.3 final drive with a Cusco or Quaife LSD is the best bet for the higher powered FI cars

3.5 is stock for the 6MT. The 3.3 will work in a manual pumpkin if you use the 5AT diff.

correct, which is why we say in that link that manual transmission cars must team if with the Cusco or Quaife LSD
