Default 373 or 411 with my setup??

i got a f body camaro with a ms3 cam, heads, and 373s right now....the whine from the rear is annoying me so im going to to swap out the posi unit and change the gears. i love the 373s but would i bet better off with the 411s? i either run a MT/16 inch et street or a 15 or 16 inch MT Drag radial..... since the cam is a top end cam should i stay with the 37s or would i gain anything from going to the 411s?

Do you do a lot of track racing or highway racing? With a 26" tire I would do the following:

Highway race: 3.73 gears
Track (dig) racing: 4.10 gears

The whine will still be there no matter what gear you are running if you have a 10 bolt. It probably isnt as bad as it sounds but you have a torque arm that is acting like a tuning fork and amplifying the noise. I have had VERY good luck in the past with the OEM manufactured gear sets and noise. The aftermarkets (Richmond, Motive) are more geared toward strength for their specific application. If you have a 10 bolt leave the 3:73 in place and save up for a larger rear.

Leave the 3.73s, get the 4.11s when you get the bigger rear. ***** going to whine no matter what.
