What gears should I use on my automatic Camaro My Camaro Is pretty much stock I currently just had the tranny rebuilt with a hardened sun shell, rev kit, shift kit and better seals. I'm wondering what is the best Set of gears for me to use, this is my daily driver but Id still like to have fun.

If its a m6, it only comes with one set. 3.42s,and they are great already. If you go to 3:73s, youll surely eat a lot more gas when your on the pedal but it'll feel quicker. If you go higher, like 4.11s, you'll launch a lot quicker,however, you'll eat more gas. If its an auto, then it either came with 2.83s or 3.23s. You'd have to look in the drivers door and check the rpo code. The code will tell you which gears came in your car. Standard is the 2.83s, and the 3.23s were an option that you paid for generally.

3.73s you will notice a difference if your upgrading from 3.23 or 2.73 especially when getting on it from a stop, but its going to hurt gas mileage a tad since you will be at a high rpm when cruising

I just went from 2.73's to 3.73's and I went from 27 MPG to 23 MPG. With a speedo fix and my rev limiter moved up I picked up right at 7 tenths in the 1/8. Only other mods are DR's and a 3200 stall. No lid, no tune, and no exhaust. 9.0's stock to 8.0's with the gears and converter. Its my DD and its got 241K on the original motor and trans.
