Formula, 3.50 gear, 325/28" tall tire

Camaro, 4.10 gear, 28" slick.

I think you will run 130mph or so, takes time to dial in a new combo and M6 is even harder. I'd consider running a 28" tall to hook it, or use a 2 step and run 26's. An 9-9-.5" 28 will fit with minimal work, but a true 28x10.5 slick will require a good amount of clearancing.

I have 3.23 with my 10 bolt currently but I am planning to get a 9" soon and haven't decided between 3.25, 3.50 or 3.70.
