3.9 Torsen in a 5SPD Naturally Aspirated
Got a 3.9 to throw in the ass end after I went turbo. Changing my mind on turbo and now I wonder if this 3.9 will be a dog with my 5 spd and no Turbo.

meh...what power do you plan to put down? What is your intended application? If you are going to be street mostly, I would say put that ---- in. You will get better highway mileage for sure.

It's not going to see as much street action going forward. I intend to stay NA powered as I've found another way to supplement my need for power. If I really need more power, I'll track something faster. I think 3.9 will hurt me at the track. Mid Ohio and Road America have the longest straights and in theory I can go faster with this rear end. But, with my pathetic 109 RWP, I won't see those highers speeds before i run out of runway.
It's a diff from a wrecked Southern Car. It's in great condition. I'm sure some fool will want my 3.9 for their 4.3. Nobody wants their 4.3 Torsen that goes Turbo :) On a side note, know anybody that wants to trade an Apexi Power FC EMS for an unused MegaSquirt MS3x and harnesses? |
not sure, but you can probably sell it off at MT I am sure!
I would definitely not run a 3.9 in a 5-speed on stock power on track. |

Tadd, it's not for sale yet, so don't fret. It will sit in my dining room till either A. The Wife threatens me to get it out. B. I decide to throw it in there for kicks C. Happen upon a 6-SPD and put both in, D. Someone takes this off my hands.
