Using OD with 4.10s?

I've been wondering if with 4.10s an M6 pulls in 5th and 6th gears. With 3.42s, as everyone knows, the car will pull a little in 5th, but dies in 6th. Is it the same with 4.10s, or does a car pull strongly through all the gears? Thanks.

It's a lot better. 6th is a useable gear with the 4.10s.

Thanks, great to hear. 6th is useless to me with 3.42s.

you can top out with 6th gear with 4:10's. if you have enough HP......

quick story......

i was switching freeways..... mearged going about 65-70 in 6th, (2K rpm)....

saw 3 open lanes and gave it about 50-70% throttle up a little grade and was doing 135mph in around 1/3 of a mile......
