400E going from 2.24 to 2.82 gears.
400E differential
That's the kind of info I was looking for thanks. I don't have a good way of measuring 0-60 but I can calculate it based on 1/4 mile data. I picked up about a 1/2 second in 0-60. But the calculation are prone to integration error. 5.5sec to 5.0sec going from 2.47 to 2.82.

I would love to see more comparisons like this, preferably with 1/4 mile data.
