The 4.11s will be your best bet of the three, using a 26" tire. 6600 rpm will get you to 124. That should be plenty.

A couple of assumptions: you drive the car on a daily basis; take a few road trips; shifting at about 6600rpms; are getting the Eaton Posi unit, 33 spline, 1350 yoke. Right?

IMO Best probably 4:11; but actually on 26" 4:30's would give you more out of the hole and better use of your upper end HP. 4:30 would not be as street friendly as the 4:11's on a long road trip.

If any of the assumptions are wrong. Just go with the 4:11's can go wrong with them.

The car is driven during the day only on nice days or to car shows etc. To work every great once in a while. Eaton Posi yes, 1350 yoke yes, 33 spline no...I was told by many including moser that 33 was overkill.

How much of an RPM difference is there between 4.11's and 4.30s?

You will bang the limiter with the 4:30s and a 26" ET Street.

There's only 100 rpm difference between 4:11's and 4:30's. I have 4:30's and tach 2 grand at 70.
