I voted 4.10s, but please don't put ET streets on it cause you'll break them. With a manual LS1 I would be thinking 12 bolt. You'll eventually get your mods up to a point where you'll need either a clutch or ET streets.

With the stock tire size, what is the highest mph you can hit (with 4:10's) in 4th before you would have to shift 5th?

So Crazy - you trying to get the edge on me - huh?? That means 2 people I know are looking at gears soon. I recomed the 3.73 because my friend in Maryland put 4.10 in his car and he hates them. Yes, you will certainly get more "bang for the buck" type feeling with a 4.10, but you sacrifice some gas mileage and noise level in the car. Just my thouhgts.

Looks like I'll have to get some new mods to keep pace with ya. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

4.10's. When my car was bolt on I'd go through the traps @ 6000 rpm in 4th. I run 26 x 11.50 x 15 ET Streets. Wouldn't waste my money putting 4.10's in the stock rear, it won't last for long with a M6 if your car hooks. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> I could not tell any difference in gas milage over the 3.42's, not that I cared about that anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
