The 410s made a huge difference in my car as well . 410s get my vote.

I had 4.10's in for a few years and just went to 3.73's last weekend. 4.10's made a big difference, but 1st gear becomes almost useless in stop and go driving. I have yet to fully break my 3.73's in, so I can't tell you the SOTP difference but it doesn't seem like a whole hell of a lot IMO.

It all depends on what the car will be used for.....
if it's a drag car, go with 4.10's....

since you have a M6 you should be asking 4.10 or 4.56

I had 4.10's put in last weekend and it is like a whole new car. It will freakin' yank your head off when the gas is mashed. I have not done a whole lot to my car yet but this is by far the best one.

What about 4.33? That is the gearing that is going in tonight with the 12 bolt.

I have 4.10's now. I wish I went with 4.30. Seriously, go 4.10 and don't think twice.

Purdue I'm leaning that way also with my setup what kind of hp are you putting down? Keep me updated on how you like those 4;30's. and for the record if 373's and 410's are the only option i'm voting 4'10's

400 to the rear wheels. Well I got my hopes up about putting the 12 bolt in. Not all the parts will be in until next week. Will let you know then.

No question, go 4.10s with the M6. In 6th gear, at 80 mph ..... it's at 2,000 rpm. I get 23mpg in my daily driving (if i do NO hot-rodding), which is 100 miles round trip, 90% highway. If I'm screwing around, as I normally do, I get 19-20 MPG, in my daily drive.
