If you have the auto the 3.73 would be good. M6 I would say 4.10s you will love them. Other than that I wouldn't spend much if you are building a motor in the winter. So you can just port your tb for cheap which doesnt do much for hp but I think it helped my throttle response and a cutout is always fun.
