4.30s gears
Hey guys Im probably sure someone might have already asked this one before but I was wondering if putting 4.30s or 4.56 gears in a stock ls1 camaro ss, would be an ok idea or not? If yes, what should I know about all this and any precautions I should take? Later Im thinking of installing a Trex cam

Not in a stock rear. 4.11 is allready making a fragile rear more so (especialy M6). IMO save $$ for a 12 bolt or 9" first.
Yes a T-Rex would like tighter gears to get in the band quicker.

dont put them in a 10 bolt, and you dont want anything higher then 4.11s until you have a decent size cam anyways.. the point of gears is to get you to the powerband you want and stay there as long as you can, something that high on a stock ls1 cam will give you no time at peak HP before itll be hitting the limiter... i say 3.73s are the highest you want in a 10 bolt as well

i jumped from a 3.70 to a 4.30 and only picked up .07 hundreths. im not going back, but i miss my cruising speed.
you really need to make a bigger jump for a large impact.
if its weekend car, strip only, 4.56.
if its a stock 10 bolt and you drive it, id get tired of the 4.56.... IMO
