What order to buy these? Would you buy headers first or 4.10s for the m6. Im looking best bang for the buck wise. Also would I run out of gear with 4.10s in 4th gear in the quarter on stock 17's.

Good decision, headers are the way better choice. Installing 4.10's in a stock rear is like pissing in the wind. Save your money for a 12-bolt or 9".
With heads/cam and 4.10's you will run out of gear before the traps unless you have a tall tire mounted on them 17's.
Peace,
Craig.

Anyway, 4.10's in a 10-bolt is certain death. Hell, 3.42's is certain death after a little more time.

I had a 6,600rpm rev limiter, 245/50/16 Nitto Drag tires and could not get a good 60' about 1.9, I was bouncing off the limiter and did 12.1 @ 119.69mph.
With 26" E/T streets I cut a 1.7 60' and hit 118mph, but my rpm's were around 6,000-6,100 through the traps.

I almost ran out of gear with boltons, stock limiter, and 4.11's trapping 108 on my nittos. First time I ever ran it at the track, and was almost on the limiter, I was sure that pass was 115mph! Needless to say I was disappointed with the slips.

I had 4.10's in my 12-bolt with my 427 for a while (now 3.73's), hated rowing them gears like there's no tomorrow. I can't imagine 4.56 gears!
