It's what I'm using, but beware, it has a higher final drive ratio (compared to 04-05's) so watch what diff ratio you use if its going in a sevenesque. You might not reach top revs in 6th.

Mines a Fury so not got quite the same brick like aero package.

a 3.89 diff with 205/60r13 rear tyres will give you 61.9mph in 1st and 123.6mph in top which is about right for a 7.

i found when picking the diff for my fury that the real issue was 1st gear as to get a decent top end meant that 1st gear became very long, but thats mainly due to the silly high redline
