Hi All

Car is getting close to completion and the final big buy left is a diff.

I think I'm going to put a LSD in it but want to know people thoughts on it.

I'm also wondering on the best ratio.

The car is a Tiger Avon with a 2009 GSXR 1000 in it.

Cheers!

Suppose a lot depends on intended use, Road or Track

3.38 or 3.14 are ideal, 3.64 is ok but you will probably rev out in top gear on long straights.

Either Tran X or Quaife for the LSD, plenty use the Ford viscous, but having had both Ford then Quaife i would not go back.

Al.

its a fine balance between getting off the mark and top speed.. i would say that a 3.6 is a happy medium between pulling away and top speed..

I have an r1 lump and I use a 3.45 diff (bmw). It's just about right. Decent acceleration and motorways don't make you ears bleed.

I'd start with a nice cheap 3.62 LSD and take it from there.

id be looking at a 3.38 for sure.

I cant see any mention on wheel size?

Thanks for the tips.

Its on 15" wheels with 205/50/15 tyres.

For anyone interested I did a spreadsheet to work out speeds in gears.

Can be modified easily to suit other engines/ratios

If anyone wants it let me know (either how to attach it to here or I can email it)
