The standard diff is 3.54 so not to much of a change Click to expand... Won't 2.8:1 gearing sort of cancel out the extra HP and torque offered by the 4.0 though?

It'll just be gutless I'd have thought, or at least no where near as nice or peppy. My RV8 (TR7) runs a 3.9:1 axle and a LT-77. I admit it's no motorway cruiser, but it's rather good fun.
