as above i got the 918 blade engine and running the 3.62 diff is this the right one
only asking because it used to have the pinto engine in it

Should be fine, i'm running a 954 blade with 3.62 diff, pulls well through gears and runs on to 116mph before it hits limiter in 6th.

also depends on tyre size. with a 919 blade i'm using a 3.54 diff on 205/60/13's. max speed in 6th would be just over 125mph.
on track i never quite get into 6th, limiter in 5th is about 120mph. when i used 185/60/13's i did use 6th.
got some slicks on the way that should bring 6th back into play

have a look here

It will be fine in most instances, and will be good quick off the line. Depending what you use the car for you maybe better with a 3.38 if predominantly sitting at higher speeds (motorway), or trying to squeeze the last 5mph out top end (if racing). For general road blasting and trackdays it will be fine
