4.10 or 4.30 gears
Looking to make a gear swap. Right now I currently have 3.90s and a 27/11.5, the car makes roughly 475, weight should weight around 2850 with a half tank and no driver.

Running 4.30's on mine and love it. Im running a totally different combo then thou. I recently went down to a 26in tall tire 275/60/25 to a 275/50/15. For what the car is its pretty wicked out of the hole w/ the stall and gearing. I don't DD it at all, I do drive it to the track (about 50-60mis pending where I go) Also Ill take it on high way trips (120-200mis)

Totally missed your car is a m6. 27in tire 6spd, I wouldn't even doubt it going 4.30's. This me but I'd even go 4.56's. I just like trying combs and finding facts first hand rather then what I read.

4.33s here. I had 3.90s before. I'm running 28x12.5 tires but I'm actually putting on 27x11.5s soon. Using the mph/tire height calculator, I still will have a few extra rpm at the big end of the track with the 27s. Should be able to update soon....
