I went with 3.73's, as with spray I want to be able to have a nice pull. Not shifting like crazy like you will with 4.10's. Now an NA car, yes throw some gears in there.

Just a matter of time with the 7.5 10 bolt. Unless you are like me and have a lowly 3.4 v-6.

Motive Performance orange box gears are going to be a really strong gear. The Ratech install kits are good, as well get the Ratech spacer not the crush sleeve. You can get the Ratech kit with or without the outer wheel bearings. Depends on how many miles you have.

I would save your money for a 12 bolt with 4.10's instead. A 7.5 won't hold up very good With an M6, 4.10's and H/C/I.

I am bringing this back to life, I have a 500 HP Trans Am for track days/HPDE and was thinking of doing 410's with an Auburn or an Eaton. Will that hold up?

In my stockish M6 TA, I can barely get the pedal to the floor in 1st gear without spinning the rear tires. I never understood the logic with going from a 3.42 to a 4.10 which makes 1st gear all that much more worthless. Unless you are also swapping the rear tires for something much more sticky, 4.10s are a waste of time w/ an M6 IMO. And if you are going with stickier tires and/or more HP, you better be swapping out that wimpy 7.5" 10-bolt for something much stouter. Personally, I went w/ 3.73s in my S60.

I have 4.30 in my 9" and love it.

However if you have the stock 10 bolt I would ssave your money and swap to a S60 or 9" and do the gear change at that time.

Just my opinion.
