Hi MarcusF.

A quick question for you.

I've got a 430 CLK with a 55 N/A AMG engine conversion running 430 gearing. At 3000 revs the car sits at 96 mph in 5th.

I was thinking of doing the W210 320 diff conversion with the final gearing of 3.07. What would that do for my acceleration and highway cruising figures?

I haven't done it because I think the gearing may be too low giving a much higher consumption of fuel.

What's your input please.
