I've only been there for the Kastner Cup, 3.89 diff in my GT6, 7,000 RPM =
redline, and Scott is right - the main straight and the one back down =
are a long time at redline.  That said, I found gearing elsewhere to be =
good, though I do run a close ratio TR6 box, so 2nd gear is really tall.

Need advice on which diff to run at Elkhart. Our first time out. GT6 =
with mild motor.  We have two diffs. 3:89 welded and 3:26 stock rebuild. =
Rev limiter set at 6,000.
Thanks
