Maybe you should post up what youre wanting to achieve from this. Asking what gears are best for acceleration and then saying that you need low revs for highway duties dont go hand in hand. Also are mini spools the go? Yes... No... who knows... what are you looking for?

in my opinion spools are only good for skids.not for daily use.and for people who cant aford a lsd. also you may look like A **** driving thru shops with car shutering and evry one staring at you like somethins wrong and go thru tyres bad

3.9 or 4.11 are the best gear sets for the holden commodore for take offs lsd's are good but depends how hard u drive it and they do wear out

agree with mrTUFFER, if your doing highway driving steer clear of them as they sit around the 3000+RPM mark. 3.45's won't give you the kick that the 3.9s or 4.11s will. The best inbetween are the 3.7s, decent take offs and about 2500RPM at 100-110km/h. I think with cam you need to decide if your going to charge it or not as they are different. (correct me if i'm wrong). You can charge a stock motor but just don't expect the box, diff or engine to last long depending on psi and how it's driven.

I drove it for a week and it ****ed my income hardcore.

Why bother sending me a pm saying this? I was trying to be constructive in my reponse to you because you havnt stated what youre wanting from the diff. You said you want low down power but you do a fair few kays per week. Get off your high horse you whore. If you ask for peoples opinions, get ready to take them. Read what people write properly and you will see that I never had a go at you and tried to get you to the desired answer. Im not going to bother replying any further because its a waste of air on you. Good day.

She wants a weekend car AND a daily..... You dont get a weapon that does good k's per tank its just an oxymoron. You need to choose whether you want a weekend weapon or you want a daily. You can get something a "bit" quicker than you have atm but you cant mix performance and economy.
