I run 4.10's and and I am very happy with them other than the fact that about 2 months after I put them in Richmond came out with the 4.56 gears. I would have went with them being that I love to drive stick and I love the feeling of driving threw the gears. I considered it Torque amplification "The better the acceleration - the better it is for me".

20 would be like 3k lol
i think at 5700 you will be going 40 mph in first.
but tires size plays a big role in that.
anyway go 4.10s unless your afraid of running out of gear in the 1/4. but thats not useally a problem unless your running a power adder... and stock tires size.

Either way, you can't go wrong.
With an M6, 3.73 or 4.10's are both F**kin badass.
I personally wouldnt go 4.10's unless its a weekend driver, or your trips to work are not that far.
I'd go 3.73's myself, but both gears are good choices.
