This is the info I've got:
F.D. is still 4.10:1
However, the secondary reduction gear out the back of the tranny has changed to make gears 1 to 4 "feel" like you've got 4.44's in the diff. They then went and made a slightly different 5th and 6th gear ratio so that the highway cruising rpm didn't change.

thx guys...

I was wondering if I could benefit from a FD change via update/backdate clause in ASP for autocross. If the ratio is the same, then I need to look elsewhere.
