So I have been debating for awhile now to get 4.10s or keep the stock 3.42s in my SS. I ran one of friends who has a bolt on z28 with 4.10s. We mainly did some quick highway runs, from about 60-100. He pulled just a bit right on the jump but then he ran out of gear and I pulled him. But I have around 40rwhp more than him, so I was pretty impressed, but I know it's because he was higher in the rpm range and in his powerband.

I am wondering if 4.10s would be ideal for a cammed car, since cams generally give more power higher in the rpms. I mainly "race" on open streets, nothing crazy and will occasionally go to the track.

So should I stay with my stock gears, or go with the 4.10s? Are the 4.10s really break and break easily? Thanks!

Having broke three gear sets and 2 differentials, I highly suggest a better rearend with 4.10's

4:10s w/ a cam here and it really wakes the car up. About to go w/ a 9" and 4:10s so I can start launching. A lot of people's advice w/ experience says save for a better rear and get the gears you want....then again others say they can spend money to replace 10-10bolts for the price of a 9" or 12bolt.

Bottom line, Im glad I put in 4:10s. A couple hundred bucks wasn't a big deal, especially since I was nowhere near ready to purchase a new rear 2 years ago. Good luck!

Depends on how you drive it. I run 315 street tires and have 60K+ on my motive 4.10s.

just do it! I promise you will be glad you did. I have had a cam in my M6 for 30,000 miles now and finally put in 4.10s a couple months ago. I cant believe I didnt install them as my first mod. You will notice a BIG difference.

Oh and I averaged 20.2 MPG with my cam and 4.10s (1/2 highway, 1/2 city)

If you want neck breaking performance, get 4.10s. If you are a sissy, stay with what you got

A 9" and 4:10's make the car 10 times smoother for DD. Not to mention it feels a bit heavier. I'm glad I did it.

I have the MS3, and the stock rear breaking the reason i question installing the 4.10s. 3rd and 4th gear my car shines, but 1st and 2nd isnt that impressive. It wouldn't suprise me if a bolt-on fbody will beat me in 1st and 2nd gear alone. I need 4.10s and still fight with myself on whether to get them or not.

**That and i have a feeling my BFGoodrich DR will make my rear really go if i insall 4.10s. Even though i wont launch the car i have a feeling the 4.10s wont like the DR during 1st gear rolls.

Unless your not driving alot of highways then go for it if you are I would say 3.73's

4.10s or higher, should be one of the first mods done to an m6! Do it, you won't regret it!

I was on the fence about whether to gear my 3.42/MS3 SS to a 3.90 or 4.10 I think I'm going to do it. I hate how weak the car feels with the 3.42s in 1st-2nd gear.

3.73's with a 10 bolt. 4.10's with a 9 inch or 12 bolt.
