Default With this cam which gears?

Comp 216/220 .525/.532 114LSA
02+ LS6 cam
TR 224 .563/.563 114LSA

Out of these 3 cams which gears should i go with? 3.73's or 4.11's? 2002 Camaro M6. The car will be on a 12 bolt. I'm going to still run 85 or 100 shot of N2o. The car is my daily driver. Live in California

ima say 3.73's...if you had a bigger cam like 230/230 or larger id say definitely 4.10/11's especially if you plan on raising the rev limiter quite a bit...say 6600+?

I'm thinkin the 3.73s myself. But N/A races the 4.11s would be nice. For the nitrous use the 3.73s might be better?
I'll be racing both track and street. More on street though. Car will be on Nittos or E/T streets. I dont use N2o on all my races though. With the setup i listed. Anyone want to guess what i would run in a quarter mile?

assuming your a good driver...on nittos...N/A with hwats listed in the sig...12.3-12.6 with the spray ima say some pretty sollid 11's mayb high tho with only an 85 shot

*edit* like i saids raising limiter abit go 4.11's but if your gonna race on the road and also spray while keeping the rev sub 6500 go 3.73's from a roll on the highway youll dominate and from a dig youll get less tirespin if any with 3.73's vs 4.11's

I've had both the LS6 and now have the TR224 in my car. I will say 3.73's since you will be spraying. I'm on the stock 3.42s now and just a little more gear with the TR224 would be great. If you were not spraying I would say 4.10s though.
