The series 1 BA manual XR8s had a 3.23 diff ratio from memory, which was upgraded to 3.45 in the mkII, autos ran the 3.45 ratio from the beginning.
The 3.7 ratio diff was introduced on the 6 cylinder BA mkII 6 speed manuals, but the V8s have the 3.45 gears The BF manuals currently still have these ratios - even FPV - 6s run 3.7, 8s run 3.45 |

Hi In2XG, are you sure it doesn't say 3.46? Sometimes they can be really hard to read.
By the way that is quite an impressive quarter mile time, have you had to do many mods to achive this? My stock 6 speed manual only manages 14.4 sec Cheers |

Mods i have done to it so far are a Generic BPT Tune (off the shelf if you like) Pacemaker Headers with a Dual 2 1/2 zorst, with a CAI snorkle, K & N filter, 4inch inlet tube and a helix spacer... thats about it Had 32psi in the tyres when i ran.. so theres still plenty more in it Ran a 13.72, so 13.6's are there....
