I didnt know that there was a 4.1:1 sierra diff! Anyway, probably best to run it through Dave Andrews gearing program
(http://hometown.aol.com/sarandrews/GEARING.EXE) to see if what you'll get is what you want.
However, you'll see a massive difference between a 3.62 and a 4.1. You might want to look at a 3.92 (these are easy to find ... 1.8 5-speed, or
2.0 injection cars).
Remember that changing the diff can't make up for deficiencies in the gearbox ratios. In particular, it won't help with the enormous gap
in the ratios between 1st and 2nd in all the type 9 boxes. This invariably causes the engine to drop off the boil as you make the shift. The only way
to solve that involves gearbox mods, which are rather expensive.
Cheers
