What gears in the rear for a T-400? I have a 99 z28 and I am going to be converting it to a T-400 and getting a 9" rear but what gears do you guys think would be good for this? this car is not a daily driver I do still want to drive it on the street occasionally though. It has heads cam all the bolt-ons and a 150 shot of nitrous. around 550-575whp. what do you guys think?

the difference in rpm is not very much from 3:73 to 4:10 is roughly 200 rpm.
3:50is would be cool, i personally ran a 4:10 with the same hp numbers on motor and am satisfied. it is not going to be like a 4l60 that is for sure. You will be turning some rpm around 70mph. If you are crusing around town it is fine but long drives suck.

I went with 3.50's in my M9. I have right at 500hp na, and then a 150 shot on top of that. Which will be more later on. I have a 28" tall tire, and hoping I won't be bouncing off the Rev limiter when I go out... lol
