I'd like to know this, too. One ERA I drove had the 3.54 and close ratio gearset, and it seemed wound out at normal freeway speeds, let alone anything more. But at lower speeds, the close ratio was excellent, I've always like them.
Thinking the 3.31 might address that problem with either the close or wide ratio, since they're both 1:1 in top gear.

2nd Launch was firm but I did not dump the clutch, hit it, barely went four feet and tore both splined stub axles apart and absolutely disintegrated my spider gears into exactly "44" pieces. Maybe that's why they call it a Dana 44, hahahaha.  The implosion in the differential came so hard and fast that it shook the car and broke my front windshield too. I was barely launching the car, not that hard really. Ended up replacing everything in the Jag rear with hardened stub axles, hardened spider gears, and all new internals. |
That sounds awful. I think to myself, I'm not going to beat on the car, and yet I know I may more than I think I will, once I begin to get acclimated to it.
