Default Supra diff

I'm going to be getting supra mk diff kit in the near future.
Could someone who has got one tell me what difference in driving I'm to expect.
I've searched and couldn't find anything.
Thanks
Jay.

I haven't driven with mine yet but I had it set up by Bara to suit the cossie road application, if that helps.

Thanks guys.
Mines 4:44 but that doesn't mean a lot when a rb25 should have 4.1.
Like going to a 3:9 I guess. I was running a 3:6. I have got a 4:27 that I was going too get made up. I'm expecting a massive difference. At 100mph I was at 3k on 18's. Could you feel the difference Dan??? Just :1?

Yes pal track/fast road. 330 at 12psi. Soon to be 370-390. Diff only locks in a straight line. No good for corner exit speed.

Dan did you really notice the difference between the 3.6 and the 3.7??
I thought the cossies were 3.69 with the standard ford diff?

Be aware that the rear casing fails at higher power levels 500+ mk is making a billet rear casing to adress the issue so factor in that cost aswell as the diff and kit thiers a group buy going on in trader group buys mate suprised nobodies mentioned this

yeah it def felt quicker, maybe it was more because it the power down a lot better
I think it was only in bigger horse powered track cars that broke the casing,
could be wrong on that but,
touch wood mines been fine,
I ll not be spending money on a billet cover unless I have too
