I'm getting a 9 inch for an m6 and am wondering what gear would be best? I like to highway race but also go to the track. I was looking into the 410s or 430s what do you guys think?

It depends on how much highway driving you do i guess. 4.10's are an all around good gear for 6-speed but if you do more track time maybe 4.30s But how tall of a tire do youwant to run?

26 or 28

I like running 4.10s myself and I'm getting ready to run a 28" tire too.

4:56s with a 28in tire in my future..and I plan to drive mine.. A lot of guys say they wish they would ahve done the 4:56s over the 4:30s...

4.56 seems like it would be to much gear for the highway. I want the best of both worlds. I think i'm going to go with the 4.30s.

I love my 4.56 at 70 mph its at about 2100 rpm, on 17 inch wheels dont know what series tire probly would only be 24 inch tall, soon will have 28 inch tall and will drop at highway speeds,

4.71s here on a 28" tire. Wish I had more rpm to play with on the top end, i'd do 4.86 in that case. Its not bad on the highway at all imo.

I live around alot of highways and thats mainly where I race. 4.56 seems like a low gear. How do you guys do from 55 to 130 on the highway?
