You will actually need to reprogram the pcm for the difference in gear ratio. Your ending ratio will go from 3.05 to 3.29 when you toss in the HD diff.

Damned then i guess ima have to get a special pcm from intense when i do the HD upgrade? What will happen if i put in the diff without the pcm change? i imagine the transe will rip itself apart

Pretty much the same when I went from a 3.06 to a 2.84 diff. Your PCM will shift your trans at the wrong RPM points. The PCM will think your going faster than what you really are, or vice versa depending which way you are going with your final drive.
