If you're going to drive it on the street at all you should change the differential gears.  I believe that the significant strength difference is from 4.88s to 5.29s.  I don't think you'll have to worry with 4.88s and many people are successful with 5.29s.

They don't call it a dual ultimate for nothing!  :yesnod:
