Acceleration difference between 3.91 and 4.30

Whizbang · 02-13-2009, 12:35 AM

im just curious what the 0-60 difference would really be between the 3.91 and a 4.30 (say in a convertible with a manual transmission). I can figure calculations on this and that , but does anyone have any more real numbers?

probably could have had this in the transmission section...

In my first gen I ran 9.70 in the 1/8 mile with 3.9 and open diff. I ran 9.16 with 4.3 and a torsen. I think I gained 4-5 mph as well.

impressive difference for a simple modification. FB is lighter than the vert by quite a bit, but still.

I noticed a difference from my GXL with the 4.10 and my GTUs with the 4.30. It's not HUGE, but its noticeable.
