What is the best rear end ratio for drifting in the s13/s14?

3.6
3.8
4.0
4.3
4.6

Why do you feel that way?

For some reason the poll links are not working.

depends on the power output of the engine..

i dont imagine how you had any traction ever with that setup... 60mph freeway speed at 5k rpms in 5th gear.. YES

Thread says for drifting, who cares about 5th.

Current setup is a RB20DET with 380+rwhp. Current ratio is 3.6 and is just too tall. Before i change the ratio i just wanted to see what everyone is running and how they like it.

Ran my rb25 with a 3.6 I believe it was. Didn't like it so much. The acceleration just wasn't there. So I set that diff aside and picked up a 4.3 and I just love it. I cannot wait till I get tuned so I can really feel the power. I cruise at 3500rpm in 5th and doing 60 but I am positive my rpm's are off 1000(+/-100).

Thats what i hear but also hear the 4.6 is even that much better for a track only car. Curent ratio is 115mph at 7500rpm in 3rd, but its acceleration is so weak untill full boost. Trying to make it easier on the trans and feel faster at the same time with out stressing the motor too much more if that makes sense. Its about out of hp gains on the RB20 but need to make it thru this next season and stay competitive.
