LSD + Final Drive

Here's some info on an LSD swap for those interested: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97729

You send them your pumpkin, or a core charge, and they send you the modified pumpkin with the Quaife LSD in it. I assume at this point, it would also be possible to throw in the auto-trans 3.48 final drive. I'm contemplating this, but I'm wondering if the ratios would be short enough that traction would be a problem in 1st and second.

Here are the numbers:

Here's the numbers with that setup
1st: 37@7k
2nd: 62@7k
3rd: 94@7k
4th: 125@7k
5th: 149@7k
6th: 171@7k

60mph in 6th: 2450
80mph in 6th: 3250

With stock 3.08 FD those numbers are
1st: 41
2nd: 70
3rd: 106
4th: 141
5th: 167
6th: 192

60 mph: 2200
80mph: 2900

Any opinions, or anyone who's tried it in Europe?

with a 3.48 you'd pull like a screaming banshee!!! But i think we need to see what size tire we can fit under the back first. As you said we may run out of traction, and thats the name of the game.
