With my standard CF, is running 3.8 commodore engine and I used the commodore diff centre, is 3.08 ratio, commodores came out with 15's but I'm only running 14's (70 series tyres) I can still cruise at 100k under 2000rpm, coasting on the flats is about 1750 rpm
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
