BENZ-LGB, with a 3.06 differential the driveshaft turns 3.06 times for each turn of the rear wheels. Higher number differentials produce more torque ... some hot rods had 4.11 differentials ... and lower top end speed. Conversely, lower number differentials produce less torque and higher top end speed.
