Default next mod just need clarification

I just need verification, I have a 10bolt of off a 97 z28 but it has 3.23 gears. I want to go 4.10 or 4.11 but ppl say that 4.11 are stronger than 4.10 is this true? I'm not running slicks just street tires. 3.23 aren't going it for me. Can someone tell me which is the better gear
My car is a bolt on 95 z28 m6

There going to be the same. Usually the higher the gear ratio the weaker the gears because the pinion is smaller but 4.10s 4.11s are going to be the same thing

I went from 3.42s to 4.10s and it was night and day I love the way the car responds with them and the gas mileage didn't change that much. If the car is on the street you wont notice the weakness it when you take it to the track on sticky tires but then an M6 doesn't take much to break the rear end on good tires

4.11s have 9 pinion teeth and 37 ring teeth, where as 4.10s have 10 pinion teeth and 40 ring teeth. OEM 4.10s will be the strongest of any gears, try to find those on ebay

OEM 4.10's x2.

I ran a set for a while in my '94. The ONLY downside to the gear jump for me was freeway cruising...but you won't have that problem with the M6. With my auto, I would be cruising at over 3K rpm's while turning the vortech...it sounded like a 747 was continuously trying to land in my engine bay.

These eventually joined the 7.5in 10-bolt graveyard, like all the others I ran...so good luck with your M6
