Hmm.

Isnt there anyone who has this combo? Is it that bad?

I know theres a formla to follow but im getting different figures from the diff specialist. The formula someone posted on FordMods gives me 2300rpm @100km/h and the diff bloke reckons 2450rpm's

Here's the formula to work it out.

I guess you could use

Engine rpm at 100k's X New diff ratio / current diff ratio = New engine rpm at 100k's

eg. 1900 X 3.7 / 3.23 = 2176

Should give you a rough guide.

Yeah ive tried that formula and found 2300rpms @100km/h works out to be correct for 3.7's in my car.

But the diff bloke did i different, i told him my car does 2100rpm @100km/h with 3.23 diff, so he divided 2100 by 3.23, then multiplied by 3.73 and come up with 2400 or something like that.

Which do ya reckon is more accurate?

The formula ( that I posted ) is very, very accurate. The drag racing mobs use that formula.
