Default What gears for 9's in an M6?

i'm getting an 8.8 and wondering what gears i should get in them i'de like 3.90's but i don't think 8.8's have that gear. i know they have 3.73 and 4.10.
i'm leaning twards the 4.10's with some 28" slicks. if i get the 3.73's i'll get 26" slicks. i'm shooting for 9's in an M6.

Well not really sure on the gear, not enough info. But I am sure your gonna want at least a 28" tire or bigger to get it to hook. My guess would be more like a 4:56 gear. What rpm you gonna shift at?

i wanna shift around 6,600. this will be heads cam and nitrous (not sure how much yet probably 200 shot). right now i have 3.73's 26x11.5x16, cam only, 150 shot running 10.64 @ 129.

4.10s is what you want with a 28" et drag to get you crossing at under 6600 rpms through the traps. if you want to run 9s i assume you will be pulling 135 mph or so.
