Default Rear Diff. questions

I have an 02' Camaro SS and i am getting ready to rebuild the rear end. I want to run atleast a 3.73 but also have been looking at a 3.90 and a 4.10 not sure exactly what to do. It is a daily driver so what do u think?

A4 or M6? Any mods? What power level are you looking at making?

his profile states he has an auto.

as suggested above, you should go with 3.73s
we have 3.23s in our SS cars, so it won't be that big of a jump.

most guys wouldn't go above 3.73 in an auto, but google fbody gear calculator and see what your mph will be at different rpm.
