Default Rear axle

I was thinking of replacing my rear axle in the near future after I finish some of my other mods (long tube headers, 1.6 RR). I just got a helms manual and checked the codes and I have a G44 and G92 (rear axle 3.07 and performace ratio axle). First of all, would a different rear axle even make a difference with such few mods. 2nd, if I already have a "performance ratio" axle, do I need to upgrade my axle? What is a good axle to go to if a new axle would benifit the car? Thanx!!

"NEED"! A nebulous term, at best. My car has 3.07 gears and it is NOT the "performance ratio".

RACE ON!!!
