I would really like a 3.46 or 3.67:1 for my C43 with LSD.

What have you found out about the ECU adaptation to the new gear ratio.

...from what I learned from both them, and BergWerks (before they closed their doors) minus changing out the whole rear-end assembly, 3.46 is as high as we can go in that rear-end.

So can I ask you...please just freak'n stop?! ...ney, I know what... I'm just going to stop responding... Next I'm going to have to purchase an entire dyno unit so I can scan the manual and post it here too...
