Default UNR8D getting 3.73 LSD to speed things up;)

ahh well this week after my parents brought back my car from Townsville, the diff decided it would go on holidays and leak like a siv:(

on the better side of things the LSD center i aquired in brissy is getting refurbished and a set of 3.73 gears will be replacing the old 3.08 SS set up currently in.

hope to have it back to me next friday and ill try and take a run at the Tville track to see any differences in qtr times;)

How much are a set of 3.7's? Would you see much of an improvement over 3.45? Or would 3.9's be better?

I can tell you cost when i know the final price lsd i already have the center for but it need to be rebuilt it cost me $50 from a written off EF, diff gears are going to be around the 350-400 mark new, im expecting about 900-1200 all up depending what else needs replaceing. for a professional job as well.
