Hello all,
I need some general advise. m56l 4.0/1 or m56l 3.77/1 final drive ratio.
I can't seem to find any direct answers online.
My 98 v70t5 has a bad differential (170,000 miles)...I found a very low mileage m56l with a 3.77 ratio. (under 20,000 miles). a rare find for it's age.
Will the car loss much of it's 0-60 speed?
I live in the NYC area, so will the 3.77 ratio be an issue driving in traffic and around the city?
Can the final drives be switched in the two transmissions?
Does anything have to be done for the speedo, since the final ratio would be different?
FYI: My car's mods are mostly to help with suspension and braking. It does have a ARD green tune and obx exhaust.. no increase on boost (car is HP turbo). The injectors are stock. I would say it's about a stage 1 tune. As it is, it's fast enough to piss off most porsche owners and I'm not looking to make the car faster.
My goal is to have a great drive-able everyday car, so any clear advise and thoughts would be appreciated. thanks for your help,
michael
