How tall are the rear tires? Generally 3.23's are a lot nicer on the freeway than 3.54's are.

Runcharger, I'm running BF Goodrich TA radial 275/60 R15 on the rear.  They spec out at 28" diameter.

Okay between all your suggestions and communicating with Cass at Dr Diff I decided to go with the 3:23 gear set.  In the process of ordering gears, bearings, shims, gaskets, etc.  Anyway, he does not carry speedo gears.  Where can I buy a new speedo gears to match the new 3:23 gears? 
BTW, thanks for all the input?   :bravo:  As always, it's very much appreciated.

First figure out what one you need, maybe someone on here will have what you need lying around?

Thanks Brad, hadn't thought about the speedo gear . . . If Roseville doesn't have them, I would check with Mancini Racing.  I too am ordering the 3.23!   Excited!
