Hello,
        What makes you say that?  When I first got it I called up Les and 
read him the numbers stamped into the side and he said it sounded like a 
4.11 LSD theh guy I bought it from said it was a 4.11 AND when I was 
calibrating my bike speedo the tires went around ~4.11 times for each 
revolution of the drive shaft??  I know the tires on my car are on the 
tall side I think they are 170's.
