Default M6 and 3.73 gears

Ok after getting a PM from Carl at CRP(who made me feel like God himself has answered my question about the meaning of life, thanks Carl) I have a much better understanding about performance rear axles, im trying to decide between 3.73 and 4.10 for my S60 ,Im running a small cam(which I may upgrade later) and the full list of bolt ons i.e headers, intake,true duals etc. the car is not a daily driver but its not a dedicated track car either ,i like the torque of the 4.10 but i like the mph capability of the 3.73 I would rather for the car to be fast rather than quick if you know what I mean, I need input or experiences from guys with M6s and 3.73s.

Carl is a great guy with a great product! I DD my car and when I do the S60 I will probably go with the 4:10 just because the diff. between stock and 3:73 isn't a ton and I know I will wish i would have went bigger down the road.But heck right now with my 540 on the bottle the stockers are sure fun cuz man can you go fast! :>)

I put 3.73s in mine and I like them. My car is 99% street and it feels about the same as stock gears with my taller wheel/tire combo. But, there was an ever-so slight difference when I was driving on stock gears with the wheels/tires. If I had it to do over I'd do 3.90s probably.

Check out F-body.org/gears for a calculator. That's how I chose mine. Very helpful.
