Why the 4.11's in the diff?
Without reading the entire thread you running a glide? That would kinda explain the gears.

It won't need 4.11's, personally I think you will be better off with 3.45's. Match the stall up correctly and the thing will be a weapon.
Its just a personal opinion. With something like an LS motor, you still have bulk torque off boost compared to a RB engine for arguments sake. With the correct stall they just come on and fry the ass off them no matter what really so I guess it doesn't matter.

to be honest luke is right, you should really go for 3.45's as your motor will pull it up easy with the torque. I am going the same ratio in my setup, but like he said also it will fry it regardless.....
