Tho wouldn't a 4.09 fd gear be better for a 600hp coupe?

That's what I'm saying. Unless you're still using it as a daily, then the 3.3 might be easier on axles and gas. If its a straight up racecar tho, I'm thinking 4.08 all day. Of course the 3.3 may be easier to launch.

Idk... I want to run either 3.7 or 3.9 to eat some of the top speed up

Top speed is kind of irrelevant. I mean how many of us have actually hut 155mph? My personal best is 130. My buddy hit 140 in his ms3, but fukc man...the wind noise north if 115 starts getting violent. My car is super solid still, but come 130, the noise alone is enough to make you think twice about going any faster.

3.9 is the most popular for a good balance I think, but I wouldn't go over 3.7 as a daily.

Not sure. This guy has built a ton of g cars and he swears by the 3.3 for getting ahead off the line. But depending on my setup and needs. I'll have two other diffs to chose from

3.9 or higher is way to high for 500+WHP. Even in a purpose built drag car, first gear would essentially be useless.
I have a 3.5 with only 491WHP and traction is practically nonexistent in the first 3 gears with 295/30/19 AD08's in the rear.

Its not being built for drag, its for time attacks. I trust his judgement but ill ask him what his reasoning is.

I was just saying the only time a higher gear would be used in a high HP build would be for drag. Even than its still unlikely.

Already have a pair, but they're only good for going in a straight line.
