Default DTE Differential

Sweet! Just orderd my 3.90 Stage II DTE Powertrain diff. Cant wait. Should give the Z some zip in the lower rpm range. My rear tires are going to hate me!!!

Must take this time to thank DTE for all the time they spent with me on the phone (specifically Jenny). I was on the shelf about what gear set to get and they listened to what my needs are, what I was expecting, what I wanted out of the car and after listenting to me yap for 1/2 hour, they made a suggestion based on what I was telling them and of course their vast knowledge and experience. They didnt pressure me into anything even told me to think about it and to get back to them when I was ready. Simply wonderful customer service! After the diff gets installed (along with a few other goodies I have been acquiring over the winter), the car is going to them so they can perform some tuning magic.

Bought the car in December and the dyno graph says 538RWHP, 489RWTQ. That wont be confirmed until later in March when it goes to DTE for some fine tuning. Hopefully the 3.90's will make the car "undrivable" LOL!!

I have 4.10's making about 453 on all motor and I LOVE them! No ay would I go with a different gear! You are going to lie the 3.90's with the MN12 tranny.
