If you're getting gears 4.10 is the way to go man. You want to use that 225 torque to the best of your cars ability. You want to intimidate anyone who tries to race you on the street? You want to show of that V6 torque all the V8 and even Import owners underestimate? If you answered yes to all these questions get 4.10's my cousin has a V6 Camaro and every time anyone tries to race it he guns it and leaves them in the dust by the time hes on middle of third gear and by the next stoplight everybody is like what do you have under the hood man? My cousin just laughs and says 3.8 V6 GM Iron block. There response is "wow man that pretty fast for a 6" Trust me man you won't be disappointed.

What about 70MPH on the highway? I have broken 2 sets of gears and Im thinkin the 4.10's will break as well. With the 4.10's my tires should be leaving the ground hahaha. Im almost there. I also have a 9" in the garage I might build if I cant decide

70MPH on the highway is fine. Not as bad as some people put it out to be. Nothing a good driver can't maneuver or handle to get a place or overtake in traffic. You always got your brakes also just in case you can't get in front of someone just get behind them. 65MPH is the speed limit on California Highways so it works just fine over here.

What about 70 MPH? This may help me slow down and decrease my annual ticket income

Re: 3.73 or 4.11 in your M5?

70mph = 2700 rpms

Re: 3.73 or 4.11 in your M5?

Re: 3.73 or 4.11 in your M5?

I might get the 4.11's and throw on a bigger tire

Re: 3.73 or 4.11 in your M5?

Re: 3.73 or 4.11 in your M5?

just go w/ 3.90's if you can't decide

[chevy3504me]

Re: 3.73 or 4.11 in your M5?

Ive thought alot about 3.90s but its eiser to find the two options I have. Some one always has a new set they purchased and were unable to use. Thats an instant $100 saving hahaha. Most ppl say the 3.90s are stronger too.
