depends on how fast you normally drive. i was getting to the point where i was cruising regularly at 80mph @ around 3750 RPMs. the acceleration is definitely quicker and i've been partaking in that quickness more often than i used to (decreasing my fuel economy in the face of rising fuel prices ... OH WELL! lol). cruising at 80mph now puts it around 4000 RPMs or a little higher, which has actually pushed me more towards cruising at 75-77mph instead (probably a good thing). the LS vs open is not even a contest, i LOVE the LSD. combined with the rear suspension mods, i love the way it hooks up and carves the corners. if NOTHING else, at least get a 3.45 LSD out of a club sport. if you're planning an engine swap later, you may want to wait on a diff swap (so you can pick an appropriate ratio for the swap you do). i guess even considering that, put in a large case diff (i would recommend bmw reman'd e30 halfshafts over used though if it's a daily driver) and then you can always swap for another large case diff with your preferred ratio when you do the swap. on my way home tonight, i even ran it up past 100mph a couple times and the acceleration from 80 or so was still pretty damn quick ... i don't much do that speed or higher so it works for me __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
