yes .. iam asking the differences between the 4.08 vs 3.9 wich would be the most benificial for a n/a motor, would it make the car worse for highway driving .. id just like to hear what people have to say before i think about breaking the piggy bank on this mod .. thanks for any info

Read my350Z, fresh alloy, 6mtdotnet, 350ztech... there’s a bunch of info out and about if you look.
4.083 is about $450-500, 3.917 is about $1200-1300. To me there isn’t anything that would make the 3.9 worth $700-800 more than the 4.0... but since you are looking for more opinions than mine I'd suggest you check the sites I mentioned, because you probably won’t find it here.

Install is about 400-450 (if I remember correctly)... if you are getting LSD this a good time to do it - not much more $

yes, after market... if you're happy with the OEM no reason to switch - but there are much better available... I only mentioned it becasue you wouldnt want to turn around a few month or a year later to pay for LSD install that you could have had done at time of FD... I have a base AT so it was open diff, I was getting LSD ayway and did it at the same time as FD.

What speed are you “rolling” from that you feel you don’t have acceleration?
