What ratio is that A244 diff? I have a C52 I think and I'm doing 3000 rpm at 62 MPH (according to GPS) on tires that are 815 revs/mile, giving me a final drive of 4.3 if I have a .815 5th gear.

How are you torquing the bolts? I know some of the bolts require a $300 torque wrench to set the torque correctly.

I wish I could get my hands on a transmission with a 3.7 final drive, a 3.545 1st, and a .725 5th gear. It would allow me to run 840 rev/mile tires (175/65/R15 LRR tires + rims are cheaper than going to 14" LRR tires) and have an easy time on hills but still be able to keep the revs down on the freeway.
