though with the gs300 rear end, maybe the top end will now be around 125mph?

I got my 3.76 lsd delivered today. After talking with the service manager (I e-mail him a picture of it)
he came back with $235 for install and he'll let me watch. May not be the lowest price but their the only Lexus dealer in town. Anyway, I'll have this done last week of Dec while I'm on vacation. I also spoke to Blair at RMM and asked about what oil he recommends and he said regular Toyota diff oil will work just fine. Any one have opinions on this? Thanks

As far as oil goes, I used Toyota LSD differential oil. The same oil used in a TT Supra differential from the factory. The service tech recommneded this and that was good enough for me!

Thanks guys for all the input. Sounds like mobile 1, Redline (no additive) or Toyota gear oil will all work fine.
One last ouestion, do I need 2 or 3 qts for the RMM 3.76. (Blair at RMM couldn't remember)

Rheiy, you sure you looked hard enough and in all the right places? I doubt you will find Redline products at your local Lexus or Toyota dealership. You are from NC which is smack in the NASCAR belt. Tons of racing fanatics in the NC area. You need to go to a speed shop and ask them for it. That would be your best bet. I will be in NC this weekend maybe I can bring you some

1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd go all the way to (but not past) redline. Previously, my car shifted just shy of 6,000. Now it's just a hair before redline - perfect - no bounce against the rev limiter.
I also noticed that at 80mph the tac's at 3,000 - w/o the lsd, it was at 2800 at 80 mph. For what it's worth, at 2800 rpm, the spedo showed 75. Not a bad trade off for a little extra power. I watched the Lexus Tech install the unit and I'm glad I didn't try it myself. With the right tools including a lift to jack up that 100lb unit into place, the install went very smooth. Tech said it fit like a "glove". He was also impressed when it took it for a test drive. 1st words out of his mouth were "ITS FAST" - You Wanted Fast and You Got It". Anyway, thanks to all you CL members out there who helped me with all my questions.
