Default difference in gears?

i'm new to the LT1 world, i just bought a 93 Z28 6 speed, and i'm wondering what gears to buy, and what type of difference am I looking at?

Go for 4.10s if you want to have a hell of a lot of fun.

If you want to keep some good gas mileage and have highway speeds bearable, go with 3.73s.

If it were me, I'd have 4.10s. They're just too much fun not to go with.

gears don't do anything power-wise. They simply allow you to go through the RPM band quicker, which improves your ability to get off the line and accelerate much faster. They should improve your E/T by a few tenths.
