Larry, Ron, Tony and myself all had that setup...
I showed up with gear/gear in my car exactly as I run it at home. The front was way too lazy for the traction. I switched to the spool up front with the side piece outdrives and the car came to life. I went back to the front gear diff with a heavier fluid and the car felt good everywhere except the chicanes. It was just too lazy to get through them quickly. I ran the ball diff for a few minutes but went back to the gear diff in the rear. Final setup for me was spool up front with the 50mm ECS and SPR Mira outdrives, and yokomo gear diff in the rear with 80wt oil. This was my first experience with high bite like that and I learned a lot. My car got better every day and really felt good in the main.
