4.10 or 3.90

Car: 6 speed C5. 224/GTP S2. S02s STREET TIRES, NO SLICKS.

1. Cost
2. Pros
3. Cons
4. Durability issues
5. Drivability, my car is a quiet cruiser, want to keep it that way. Looking to get rid of bog on take off.
6. I have a MTI hardened out put shaft what else does this job entail?

TIA
Greg

P.S. If anyone is going to fun fest, I live in effingham and would like a ride if you have a similar set up.

I have the 3.90s but I have the extra torque of a stroker.

I will be at Funfest on Sunday but I am running stock gears, I have the bog problem as well but choose to slip the clutch a little off the line instead of changing out the gears at this point..If I were changing gears I would go with 3:73 or 3:90 but I have a diff gear ratio in my M6(except for 4th)..
