Rule of thumb on a street car, if your not going to change atleast a 1/2 ratio then dont bother.

I see that you are a M6 6 speed, I liked my car better with 3.73 for the street (when I had a stock LS6 405hp long block crate motor almost all my bolt ons exept my cam Futral FM13, FAST 90 and 30lb injectors) and I changed to 4.10 before I bought my 12 bolt to see what gear I wanted (I only picked up around a 1/10 in the 1/4 with gear change on Mickey Thompson Drag Radials) before I order the 12 bolt to see what gear to order it with but I run tires when I race now (most of the time) the lower gear helps. Good Luck on your choice.
