what diffs are in it now? 4.1's?

Also Would you like to buy a few fullstops and commas so its almost readable?

I have run 4.8's with 37's and spot on. You can choose any brand you like in 4.8 so long as it is Italian (Antonio Maseria) and that hasn't the greatest reputation for noise and lining up.

4.625 has a stronger pinion than 4.8 (the higher the number the smaller the pinion) and you get to choose Jap ($400 ish) over Italian. If you have power then I would get 4.625 in Jap
