If you want that urge off the line, from a standing start, then you want a higher stall converter not shorter diff gears. A higher stall converter will make traction "tricky" from a standing start with too much throttle ;)
Hi-stalls are BAAAAAD for towing though. Especially horse floats with livestock onboard ... LOL

i dont tow anything with my AU, but i am still not getting a hi-stall. i am just too scared of loosing my day to day comfort. The new diff is now in, and i have gone with the 3.73 ratio. i am still to see how it goes as i have to run it in for the next few weeks, but it feels good even on light throttle. thanks for all your advice guys and gals, cheers!
