E55 with 3.06
Planning on shortening the diff. 2.82/2.87/3.06
I seen a post about 2.82 but nothing in the ithers. Anybody running 3.06?
What does it feel like ?

Great. Great info. Looking forward to this mod. I m going to go for an used one. They are fairly cheap down here. I could go for even 3.27. I am worried on the top end does it still pull hard and whats the max speed for 3.06? I hope it does at least 300. Really dnt want to compromise 300. Its my pride n joy

3.06 here had them done when doing the high stall TQ Conv and LSD. Good move to make.

So no more issues with tuning for higher gears?

I don't know guys...
I love the tall gearing on the E55. With the broad torque range it's really well suited. I love doing pulls starting at 70km/h and never having to shift until 130km/h++

I like it too. It's incredible it can perform that well with such a high gear. The lower gear will give you more of the pants and the seat feel. But it may not translate into better times. Personally I can't get enough 80mph kick down
Beats the hell out of any BB Chevy I ever had. Then again they had 3.50+ rear gears.

I am worried it will just die in 5th. With 3.06 i will need 5th at about 160mph and i fear everyone will start catching up. For redbulljunky this could be very different coz he doesnt have any low end torque. But we do. I ll just have to see.
