3:73 or 4:10?
3:73 or 4:10? The title kinda says it all, I am looking to change out gears on my '00 SS M6 and am stuck between 3:73 and 4:10 gears. Since I have the six speed, I can put it in 6th on the highway with the 4:10 gears for better mpg, and the 4:10 gears will give better torque than 3:73, but my car is DD, so I don't want to cause premature engine wear, and kill gas mileage.
Anyone hear make the swap and have an opinion or experience with the two different gears?

3:73's and I'd race any of you guys when I was just a bolt on car all comparable cars just saw tail lights. LOL! The 4:10 feel faster cause you are spinning the tires etc... but they were slower when racing. And if you ever go big CI"s you will definately like the taller gears, but what ever you do as long as you are happy with it is all that maters.Good luck!

Putting money in a 10-bolt is pissing in the wind. Leave it alone and save cash for a 12-bolt w/3.73's.
4.10's blow ***, no top end, run out of gear right before 120mph and with some serious power w/4.10's you're freaking rowing a boat. You spend 99% of your time spinning or shifting gears.
Peace,

hey man i have 4.10s right now and id have to say i love the 3.73s i had in.... this is also my daily driver i have a g5x2 cam pacesetter headers and duals.... and I VOTE 3.73s!!!!
I have 4.11's in my car and honestly I would like to switch to 3.90 or 3.73's. I have to shift so fast out of first when I get on it that usually when playing, I start out in 2nd gear. I dont like launching then half a second later shifting.
