If you mave a M6, get 4.11s or 4.30s or 4.56 depending on whether you will run at the track or just street race. If you have the A4, 3.73s should do it.

Oh, and BTW, consider getting a 9 inch instead of the 12 bolt. Price is about the same, but they are stronger than the 12 bolt, plus you can swap out the punkin' easily for a different ratio. Then you could have the option of running 4.56s on the street, 4.11s on the track, and 2.73 for the Salt Flats! See you there next month for speed week!
