Default Bad idea ?

Ok here we go. If i dont plan on changing the rearend in the near future would it be a bad idea to put a set of 4.10's in it...Its a daily driver though so would how much would it hurt gas mileage and my top speed

I read on LS1.com that maybe 1-2 mpg loss on highway and no difference for city driving. You do have the m6 right?

S2S558- From what I have heard it is BAD JUJU to put 4:10's in a stock rear if you plan on launching it. The gear ratio places even more stress on the rear end components, worse for M6 guys. I am sure you'll lose more than 3 on the highway. Good-luck.
