My 300SD has alda maxxed, bosio injector nozzles, 2.5" straight pipe, timing is spot on (newer chain), and I paired it to a 1985 300D transmission + 2500 stall torque converter and I still have the stock 3.07 diff. Standing start to 70mph acceleration is awesome! Its almost as quick to 30mph as my 420sel is!
Did you buy a TC with a lower stall speed or is that standard in a 300D? I think a lower stall speed would be helpful for harnessing more power.
