4:30's really wake up an f Body, especially if you have an aggressive camshaft. If you are running a 28" tall tire, then I would go with 4:56's. Bob

dont touch a 10 bolt if you have a 6 speed. when you say "shortest" i'm assuming you mean a larger gear (numerically), because i cant imagine you wanting higher than a 3.42 ratio w/ the t56. some people say "taller" or "steeper" and describe the same thing i'm assuming you want.

4.10's are a fun choice with our 6 speed trannies, as long as they are NOT in a 10 bolt, and you have some decent tires. i have 4.11's in my moser 12 bolt, run 315 nitto drags, spec 3 clutch and have a few suspension parts to make it leave a little harder. i LOVE these gears, i can run sticky tires and break 'em loose if i want to, and i can make 'em hook, and roll out when i need to
