4.375:1 gears will give better acceleration.

I was just wondering if anyone could recomend a diff ratio to use...
I've got a 120Y sedan, it's been lightened (fiber glass front guards, =3D
bonnet and boot, no spare or jack, perspex rear windows and quarter =3D
glass, no carpet or foor lining)
L16, single webber (soon to be twins), Ivan Tighe cam, oversized flat =3D
top forged pistons, lightweight crank, ported heads with BIG (6cyl) =3D
valves, extractors, 2" sports system, 5 spd SSS Stanza box
I've got 2 diffs, the standard 120Y diff with 3.900:1 gears and 1 from a =
=3D
SSS Stanza with 4.375:1 gears that I can get shortened
The stanza diff would be a lot stronger but I think the ratio would be =3D
too low for this setup wouldn't it?
The 120Y diff would probably be a better ratio but it wouldn't last a =3D
week behind that engine
would either of these diffs be suitable? if not, what does everyone =3D
recomend?
oh by the way it's for the 1/4 mile, not worried about whether it revs =3D
hard on the freeway or performance for circut type situations, just =3D
after best possible 1/4 mile times
