3.89 or 4.11???
I will be ordering my 9 inch for my 2000 SS 6sp from Driveline Solutions on Monday and I'm trying to decide between 3.89 and 4.11 gears. The car has bolt-ons now but will get heads and a cam next winter. Let me know what you guys think.

go to www.fbody.com and look at the gear calculator. if you ar running a 4.10 it might be too small of a gear for the 1/4 and you may max out 4th before you finish.

I talked to Scott from DLS today about what I should order. It is your decision untimately, but I think I'm going to try 3.89 in mine. I have a 4.1 right now in my broken 10-bolt. I figured out that if my car traps 117 it would be at 5900 rpm w/ 3.89. When I asked Scott, he didn't seem to think you would notice or lose much going to a 3.89.

hmmm, I've been debaiting this myslef, I just asked you on your other thread what gears you are gonna go with. So 3.89's huh. I think I too will be going with 3.89's. I have a top end H/C car and I also will be spraying so it seels 3.89's it will be. What brand gears does scott use? Good luck with your new set up!
