Pros and Cons comparison? which will be best for an all bolt on M6 with 12 bolt...daily driver....used both strip, street, and road course??
(yes another)
3.73's or 4.10's...
this will be a daily driver (see no snow and hpefully no ice) will see rain
gas mileage is an issue i want it quiet and i want it to accel good (i will be doing a swap) and i need some good top end
I will have a 455 stroker from MTI in the future so im debating if i should get the 4.10's then if at all
also is it better to get a Eaton Posi/Auburn Posi/Other Posi or spool
i want my Extreme Duty T56 Extreme duty and all other parts to last as long as possible on a daily with some track time...and a bit of highwya and few street races

so im taking it 4.10's would be good for if i could rase the Rev limiter...and shift run through a longer power band....so its not such a burden to shift with high power....
what would be better for me...posi/limited slip or spool...if posi which one....and on what 12 bolt assembly.... Auburn or Eaton (posi's...or some better one?) on Moser or Strange?....will 3.73's whine like 4.10's tend to in these rears?

3:73 should be plenty of gear for a 455.if you plan on slicks a 9" might be your best choice.you'll lose more power but will be more dependable.i have a spool in a 9"=it suks on the street.

well it sounds look Posi would be best for the daily driver usage....and 3.73's soudns like the best idea...what posi would be best auburn or Eaton?...does Strange have a posi still?
my car will also see some auto X usage....so Street/Strip/Corners
so would posi or spool be better in that case?
what is the top end difference as opposed to 3.42's (a lil off subject...is the top speed seen in 5th or 6th gear??) with 3.73's? 4.10's?
what kinda MPG difference?...how bout shifting? what speeds will each gear see wiht stock internals if i was to FLOOR IT at redline...and whats the minimum speed for each gear without giving me a shake?
downshifting...for instance racing form a roll in different situations....what speed in 5th-6th to what gear? etc...i think yall kno what i mean say im doing 65 in 6th (dont kno if that sounds right cuz thats what im asking in my previous question) and theres a Mustang next to me...what gear whoudl i down shift too?...(would it haveta be a gear or 2 at a time 6-4-3 or something like 6-5-3?)
if its confusing i will try to clarify
(this is comparing to 3.42's with 3.73's and 4.10's.....if you can compare all 3 at ONCE PLEASE DO SO THANK YOU)
