im thinking about 3:73 or 4:10. what im leaning to is the 4:10's unless anyone changes my mind! anyone with expirence with these gears? oh and my street tires are 26" tall. im not worried about gas or high rpm on the highway. i just want this to be a NASTY street car!

I have 3.73's and I have found that they are a good comprimise between noticeale gains and decent gas milage. Also, what is done to the car...in other words, a 4.10 gear is somthing most people would expect to find in a drag car and may be a little overkill in a street car (not to say people don't use a 4.10 on the street, but depending on whats done, it may not be necessary)
Just my 2 cents

4.10s, you won't regret it. i have them, love them. I almost thought about going to 3.73s so i wasn't hitting OD so fast...but decided that i loved the way it pulled, and will just compromise with a large cam and springs that can handle more rpms to extend 3rd at the track ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
1st ends at 30
2nd at 65
3rd at 110
50 is 2000 rpms
60 is 2300
70 is 2700
80 is 3000 rpms
(as comparison in a 6speed with 4.30s)
1st ends at 35
2nd ends at 55
(didn't get 3rd)
but 70 is only 2000 rpms with this setup

I would go 3.73's as our first gear is already a 3.06, ( 11.41:1 overall first gear ). We already have a granny first gear, 4.11's would be OTP. If your car is a hippo, like mine, 3.73's will be just fine. If you have a Scarsdale car, 3.23's or 42's might be better.
