Glad you like it Alberto . Mine is an open 3.3 and is still on the garage floor . I like the 3.5 with my AT5 but 1st and 2ns are useless now . I will be going back to the 3.3 soon .

Is your 3.5 VLSD? Remind me how much power are you making? Rear camber/tire set-up? I wouldnt go back to an open LSD regardless of FD.

Yes , its a VLSD 3.5 . Im not putting back the stock open 3.3 . I would find a 3.3 VLSD . Im making a real safe 430whp at 13 to 14.9 psi with the Vortech . Stock spec. on alignment and Nitto 275's in back

I thought the 3.9 made your gears longer? Maybe I just got it mixed up.

Yeah with a 3.9 FD your gears will be shorter. 3.9 < 3.5 < 3.3 --- shortest to longest.

BTW 130 in 4th ??

I've been running 3.3 for quite a while, and 3rd/4th gear pulls are hair raising.

I would sometimes ride out 4th when getting on the freeway... No longer... Its just too fast.

There are other options for speed other then just raw TQ&HP. I'd like to build to raise the redline to ~8k. And of course... with 400+HP @ the ground, a 3.3 rear end. (Quiafe in mine... before they got the whole bolt/ring fiasco figured out.)

Riding out 8k of 400+ HP goodness in a single gear without loosing boost, never lifting... Flat out... Like a lizard drinking. (I know an Aussie that says that... cracks me up.)
