what diff is best

[layotn20]

iv got a zx9r engine going in my roadster. just wonderd what diff/ratio would be best. its for road use mainly but would like to hit about 120/130 mph. would a 3.62 be up to the job?

Try a program like this:

it will give the theoretical max speed in each gear. But yes you are correct probably the 3.62 lsd diff will be the best, although they are not cheap roughly £200.

mine is a 3.62 cost me £30 but its not an lsd. thought it was a 3.92 at first but after further inspection its a 3.62.

only found out because i calibrated my speedo for a 3.92 diff and at iva it was out. ended up changing it at the test by trial and error. when i got home took the diff back plate off and its got 3.62 stamped on the crown wheel.
