Question 3.27 diff too much for Auto-X ?

I have installed a 3.27-diff on a C36-engine/tranny, and I think the ratio is too much for autocrossing.

Has anyone else tried it?

While the accelleration is great, it seems to have too much drag to top speed.

Should I go back to 2.87 or try a 3.07 ?

BTW: this is a fast autocross course . . .

Thanks,
:-) neil

Honestly i think you would be good, i know there 2 diffrent cars, but i autocross my 240sx, and honestly bottom is where you want it, you say its a fasttrack but i know it isnt gonna be faster than maybe 80, and id say your rear should pull it

on a side note, what is your email addy, i have some questions i would really love to ask you about your motor swap
