Randy,
What engine are you running? That would make a lot of difference in the
effect the diff will have. If it is an early Spit with a stock 1147,
that ratio may in fact be too high. But who knows, that may have been
changed to achieve the particular effect you have. If you desire to
change to a different (lower) diff, I'm sure you would have a bunch of
takers if you offered the 3.27 as trade bait. I think I recall Mark
Sinclair in San Francisco looking for that ratio last summer. I think a
compromise 3.89 would do a lot for your pep, and still achieve a decent
top end.
