Default Gears

I have a pretty much stock 2000 Z-28 6-speed. I was just wondering what the stock gear is in the rear end and what the best gear would be for me? Take into consideration this is pretty much a daily driver that never goes to the track. I just want that extra bit of edge out on the street. Thanks.

top end? how often do you go 160?? with a 6 speed, i wouldnt worry about the top end losses. i plan on doing a 4.10 in mine soon and if it goes out , it goes out, and in goes a 12 bolt or 9 inch.

p.s. - grubby, im calling guiness about that run on sentece!!!

I have had 4.11's in for over 24k miles and love it. They were the single biggest bang for buck mod I have done because they change the whold attitude of the car. Instant power from any gear. I also trapped 113.22mph at the track with them on street tires. You will not regret doing it.
