[QUOTE=Pele]Front and rear diffs WILL be the same gear ratio, guaranteed. QUOTE]
Although this is true in this case, as for front and rear axles being the same ratio, not always true but most of the time. For example, International, for those of you who remember international pick ups, had a higher ratio in the front axle than in the rear, but due to the obivious problems I believe this practice out with bell bottoms...

This is from the Archieves with a lot of different gear ratios from the Miatas to the Kia Sportage.

Update:
here's a update. It turned out that during my first test fitting, I used mis-matching axles (pre-S3 and a S3) due to mislabeled parts (and i thought I was good in keeping track on what I have). In any rate, it will work except the front diffy is open, not a LSD. Sorry about the confusion.

I personally will be using a 1999 Miata differential with Torsen LSD and 4.30:1

Yeah, I knew what you were referring to though, most of the trucks/etc that have 4WD HI/LO run the same gearing and just directly drive from the tranny to the differentials (except for the low obviously), but there's always those whacky exceptions!
Anybody got a good junkyard source for these things? I wouldn't mind picking one up (though I'd really like something in the 4.44 range)

What would be better for autocrossing a stock port GSL with LSD a 4.77 or 4.44 rear end gears with stock exhaust ( for now) and upgraded suspention ( illuminas, eurathane bushings, and eibachs)??

I do but Im greedy and I will not reveal my sources. But if you wanna buy one from me, I will think about it.

How would top speed be effected, if it even would be efected?
Thanks ( I thought this is an apropriate question for the topic)

Top speed will be reduced but for street its not a big deal, ie at 60 mph in a 3.9 you are doing about 3000 rpm, with a 4.77 the rpm would be about 3600, still not high reving for a rotor.
For autocrossing and any other racing the LSD is a big advantage. Try to find a pumpkin that is an LSD ie: Miata 4.3 torsen, RB 4.44, and others....
