Default M6 gears

I have a M6 in my Camaro. It has 4.10s in it. I am looking for a local trade in rearends. The lower the better for a turbo M6? Will the 2.## from an auto work well? Or go 3.43?

Depending on how much power you're making, 3.43's should be alright. I have 3.55's and I'm out of gear in 4th going through the traps. I'm switching to 3.27's.

I'm considering the same switch, going from the 3.73s I have now back down to a 3.42 gear.

3.4 or thereabouts is an ideal boosted all rounder.

I also found 3.55 a little short, but on the other hand, 3.27 is just a little too tall. Although it allowed me to pull 200+ in 5th

Will probably step back to a 3.55 as it's just much nicer all round. Hopefully I can coax a few more rpm's instead

What's your overall impression? Good move, to low, just right?
