AFAIK there's no gears available yet but many are in the works.
Check http://www.camaro5.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=76 I'm sure someone will post a review or availability when they're out. I know Vengeance Racing is working on one

We are working with a well known supplier to produce a 4:10 gear set for the 2010 Camaro. ETA is currently mid January. Ill spill more beans as more info becomes available.

I think it needs every bit of that to get those huge tires spinning off the line. I eagerly await your info.

You could also put a shorter tire on it and get the same result.
You would also be dropping some weight at the same time.

That helped us a bunch.
Gears would be better.

Are you being sarcastic or what?
The 2010 SS rear tire size is 275/40-20 which is 28.7" tall
A more "standard" size is 275/40-17 which is 25.7" tall
Now fitment and aesthetic issues aside.
That would be like going from a 3.42 to a 3.90 on a 4th gen Fbody.
I dont think that gearset exists, but the effect would be very similar.

Sarcastic??? I don't see how you got that.
Had Nitto's on the car that were slightly shorter than the stock tires.
We then installed the M/T ET Street Radials 303/40/17. They are as you say about 2" shorter which gave us more effective gear. As you point out about a theoretical 3.90.
It helped our NA ET with the shorter tires.
As I said in another post it is butt ugly with the shorter tires. Need to run at the track in the dark. There is a point where the mods are not worth the way they make the car look.
A 4.30 gear with the stock size tire would be ideal IMHO.

LOL, you have to get them to turn the lights out on the track so nobody sees the roller skate look!
