Fast has that a little backwards. If you drive it often, 3.73's would be great. 3.90's if you want a 9". 4.10's is pushing it, but would be fun.

6spd no lower than 4.10's.

It depends on what size tire you are running on the rear, and how much horsepower you are producing. 4.10 gears are a goos all around gear for a six speed with 28" tall tires on the rear. Bob
