Do you have a lightweight flywheel, too? I have a Fidanza aluminum unit. Rev match down shifting is so easy as it revs so freely.
Glad you're enjoying the new rear gear ratio.

I'm still running the OEM flywheel from the 1994 Camaro the transmission came from.
Ran a comparison of drive ratios between the 3.50 and 3.89 gear.
Speed At Engine RPM 6500
3.50 vs 3.89
1st Gear Speed 53 48
2nd Gear Speed 79 71
3rd Gear Speed 108 98
4th Gear Speed 141 127
5th Gear Speed 190 171
6th Gear Speed 282 254
I'll race the 3.89 at SCCA this weekend and I assume I'll love it. We'll see how the Gleason acts as well. Some say they unlock when the inside tire is lifted and while I've fought that int he past, I don't believe it'll be an issue now. We'll see. I can't wait to barrel off into the first sweeper and not have to cringe waiting for the BANG when the old locker would disengage. That alone should make this a MUCH nicer diff to race with.
