Best gears for a 550rwhp M6 car?
I am swapping to a MWC rear end and I have already ordered it to have 4.11 gears, it hasnt been buit yet so im wondering if I went to big.
i did a gear calculator test and showed that I would run out of 4th gear at 120mph at 6600 rpms on 26s. i am pretty sure this car will be capable of more than 120mph quarters and I also know switching into 5th will slow me down.
i could always go with 28 inch tires and see if that will work but im just wondering if 4.11s are ganna be to big for a car with that kind of HP.
this car is also going to be a daily driver. I had a bolt on ls1 in my vette with 4.11s and m6 and loved it but the HP was no where near the same as this car

You need to decide what size tires your gonna run or what size gears first 28" will give a better launch bc of more sidewall but won't handle as well as a lower sidewalk. Go with 26" and do 3.55 or 3.70 gears.
