I am looking at doing 4.08 gears when I do my LSD install soon. There seems to be some concern on it affecting syncro rev and I have been trying to get a straight answer about it before I pull the trigger and buy them.
But in theory and based on my tracking experience, I rarely see above 130 MPH on the tracks I do. Most of the time is spent between 3-4th gear, which would mean two things for me going to 4.08 gears:
1. I will have to shift a lot more.
2. I should gain a lot of my usable power band and should see a lot of benefit in terms of creating a "quick car" vs a "fast car"(high top speed).
For road racing, a quick car is always preferred to a car with high top end, unless you are doing circle track or topping out a lot in 5th(which I am not).
For drag racing NA, I would think the 4.08 gearing would be a huge improvement, but I don't drag race so I am just speculating.
So once I can get some solid feedback on the syncro rev problem, I am going to decide to buy them or not myself.
