Looking good!!! They'll c ya coming for sure!!!! Re the diffs, makes a difference eh! Just need to do the Disco Dual Booster upgrade now and it'll lock the wheels!!!

3.54 diffs in there now?
Add in the high ratio transfer gears, and the overdrive I would guess it should be able to make the jump to light speed around 4000rpm in 4th Overdrive?

You've certainly made your mark on it!!!

Nah, he's got the 4.7:1's I was going to use. When I did my original calculations I was going to have 4.7's and a 1.003:1 Tfer, but then we had our conversation about gears not fitting thru the rear etc, so I went to 3.5:1 and 1.222:1 Tfer... The 4.7's are ideal for 101 still fitted with V8's.

hi guys
