Is the car for actual competition or just tracking days? Which engine and tranny exactly?

My vote:

Stock ITR LSD with an ATS 4.929 final drive. Keep in mind that the choice you make will greatly depend on what types of tracks you'll be running. If you're running ovals, scratch my suggestion on the FD.

But that's just me

The ATS 4.9 FD, like Jason suggested, is great in that car and engine. The stock LSD isn't perfect, but it should be good enough for what you're doing. It's also gonna be the cheapest you'll find (OBX might be cheaper, but...ehhhh), and replacements are fairly plentiful if you break it for whatever reason.

For track days only with no rule restriction, I would recommend the ATS 3-4-5 gear set (with stock 4.4FD) over the ATS 4.929FD only. It rips through 3rd to 5th just as fast and the rpm drop between shifts is less.

LSD, I would vote for the ATS 20 plates.

I would recommend using a Quaife LSD and a gsr 3,4 gear with a FD of 4.75..you move thru the gears quickly and the quaife helps with 50/50 power to the front good luck with whatever you end up running tho!!

For the record, I agree. I was a bit limited though 'cause of those damn rules

I would recommend you use the Stock ITR LSD With either a SRR 4.7 OR 4.9 Final Drive.
We switched to SRR after breaking three ATS Gears in a season!
I have them in stock at $475.00 +shipping.
