Help choosing gear ratio for lowest E.T. I'm looking for quickest E.T. possible on N/A 346 M-6
What rear end gear ratio will get me highest trap speed/Lowest E.T?
95 Camaro, Full package BMR suspension w/ Qa1 shocks
18 in. 265R35's
LS6 with FAST 102 intake and T.B. 40 l.b. injectors, ported 243's, TR Raptor camshaft, Stock bottom end (except ARP rod bolts) Kook's longtube headers (haven't bought exhaust yet, open to suggestions)
I am undecided as to which brand third member to install this spring, but that is less important to me right now than choosing the gear ratio.
My goal is mid 10's (lofty but achievable with research and help from those that have already been there!)
This car will be street driven occasionaly (for fun only) but is primarily for track use.
My first inclination is always for the 4:10's but I realize that may limit my trap speed
LS6 should put around 480 h.p. to the rear end when complete and I think I can get more speed out of 3:73
or 3:90 rear end.

mid 10.xx are very much do able.studderin dose it .the right cam will get you there.talk to any stock or super stocker .you don't care about trap speed ,60 ft are what you should work on.ETS are torque and combonation,mph are hp.you want a intese cam with great valve springs.Patrick-G or EPS can do you the right cam .
