i have a stock as a rock lcgtr 161 and have rebuilt 2 lsd diffs 3.08 and a 3.36 which ratio would be better for the opel ?? i dont smoke tyres and will mostly use my torrie for events so not much city driving ???

LSD and triples? The opel will be the weak link in this chain.

Go the 3.36:1 ratio...
My LC XU-1 has the opel and 3.36 diff and it is a beautiful little car to drive and it gets up to speed quite nicely from a standing start.
On the other hand my LJ XU-1 with optional 3.08 ratio diff and M20 XU-1 box is a pig to drive under 40MPH...

Cheers Greg..
