What do you all think?
I think that changing diff gearing is a hugely overrated mod. It's not like its going to magic you any more power/weight. Overall acceleration performance is going to be close to the same. There is more pull in each gear, but you have to upshift sooner. So there are some speeds where "gears" will give you greater acceleration, but at some speeds acceleration will be far worse due to having to be in the next taller transmission gear.

If it's not specifically 0-50mph you are interested in, I wouldn't bother. If you want to be speedier, just keep the revs up and shift later with the gears you have.
