I didn’t think that would help seeing as these cars didn’t come with any other ratio but stock but here it is. Thanks!

It’s not a dream, I own Star and have already talked with Jerry who has done a few hundred of these gear swaps, it’s just a matter of finding the right gears for me rear end as he is just the tuner... it’s not hard to set the TCU and ECU for the swap at all, they will take upto 3.27’s

Yeah, my friend done that 3 years ago,
he installed "3.27", but not sure from which M/Y diff. he went with, and adapt the TCU as well,
most tuners can do it,
soooo fun..
, much wheel spin from dig, but really gain some ET's then..
,,
i tried to contact him, but his Cell switched-off, seems his out of country..

Thanks,
Quaife didn’t seem to know or want to tell me which was a surprise, and Marc hasn’t written back yet, and that was about a week or two ago so I guess I’ll try to reach out to him again but didn’t figure he would be a big help on the differential end.
Thanks
Chris

Interesting re: Quaife. I've found over the years that Marc works better by phone. I'd also try Wavetrac, again by phone. Finally, Jonothan Hodgman, down at Blue Ridge MB (outside Atlanta) might know. 404.805.1357; www.blueridgemb.com; @blueridgemb. Jono is the one who first told me about Wavetrac LSD for these cars. Depending upon where you are geographically, Hodgman might be a good one to know in person.

Chris,
My friend called me hour ago,
he said; he used diff. & axles from "2000 S280",
he also used propeller shaft rear one only (that attach to diff.),
cause S55 uses (4) fingers, while "S280" uses (3) fingers,
so many guys tell him to not use "S280" diff., cause i think it uses small carrier (210HAG), it will not handle the "S55K" tq/power,,
but he used the car around "3" years without any issues..
