whats right with this 12bolt and setup made up my mind im getting a 12 bolt over a 9"...I had made up my mind on the 3.73 but it seems that most people favor the 4.10...
This is what I want...I want a gear ratio that will put some mean torque down but I dont want to break my tires loose when I tap on the gas.
Im about to put a procharger in then ill be running around 450wrhp and around the same amount of torque. Is the 4.10 better for higher power f-bodys or is it better for mostly stock cars???
(im running on 295/40/18 Kumho's)
Also! how much more lowend torque and power will get to the rearwheels running a 4.10 over the stock, and will it severly kill my top end speed???

You would run out of gear quicker with 4.10's and FI. That is, you could be shifting to 5th. With a 3.73, you would stay in 4th. I am assuming you have a M6.
