I have a 2000 SS and I'm picking up a spare rear end to build and put in with a new t56. But I don't know which gears to go with (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) the car is goin to see some normal everyday driving between me and my gf but I want to get into autoXing . . . but what gears are best? 3.42, 3.73, 3.90 or 4.10's?? I'll either be running C5 z06 rims or zr1 rims. Thanks for your time

I've got a 396 LT1, but I'll help as much as I can. I know I've read on here that a lot of people like 3.42 or 3.73. I've got 4.10 and I love them for the road course. In this video I took last weekend, I'm in 4th and 5th gear the for the entire race track, except for Oak Tree (the turn before the long back stretch), which is 3rd. I don't shift very much at all. I can pull out of a turn at 45 MPH in 4th gear, yet still bast down the straight at 130+ MPH with only 1 gear change. But, I've got tons of low end torque.

On the street, I don't like the 4.10s. Too much shifting. I think for the street, 3.73 or even 3.42s would be perfect.

I hope this helps just a little.
