3.73's or 4.10's for my M6
I currently have the stock 3.42s in my car. It has gone 12.32 @ 114 and I am thinking about spraying it. With 4.10s I would top out at 123 which only gives me 9mph to go. 3.73s would give me 135 topped out. Is it worth it to change to 3.73s or should I stick with the 3.42s??

When I sprayed my car with 4.10's, my rev limiter was set at 6200, the shift lite would come on maybe 200 feet before the traps and I would just hold it to the boards. This was at 117 mph on a Firestone SZ50 274/40-17 tire on a small shot. I think if I would have had a taller tire I would have done alot better as far as RPM at the deep end. I think the 4.10's would wake your car up.

so 4.10s and shifting into 5th will be faster than 3.73s and staying in 4th?? I find that harder to believe.
I think you are missing the point that my car traps 114 on motor.

I had sticky tires.. it would burn them off..lol
That's why I'm looking forward to the T56, I can petal it more and get control of it better.
But I have enough Torque and power to when I get into my power band and have traction, I'm expecting it to launch like a rocket with the 3.50's.
Even on the Track it took off hard with the 3.73's, but to me it felt like it was losing on the top-end..then again after thinking about it, the Tranny could have been slipping a little bit.
I'm wanting that hard pull in the top-end with the 3.50's though..wax them Corvettes on the highway and leave them wondering..
