I miss having the 4.08's driving around town. Ripping through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear was so fun.
Highway driving is more fun now with the 3.69's. Rolling at 70 then drop it into 3rd and just let it go. Shift to 4th then hold it until .....
Going from 4.08's back to 3.69's makes the car 'feel' slower because it's not revving as quickly.
Why did I swap back to stock gears? Got tired of the gear whine.

I don't have any gear whine. If there is any, it is about 90% less than before the swap. I had a base open diff (peg leg) now with Quaife + 4.08s and redline fluid the noise is almost gone (girlfriend verified). I can actually hear the engine AND the F.I. exhaust now.
