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

What class are you planning on running? I think some of those gears won't be stock replacements, and therefore not legal in some of the classes the car is eligible in. That said, depending on your region, you'll probably want to be able to run about 70 in second, maybe 65 if your region uses shorter courses, and maybe 75 if your region is famous for fast courses. That's what I'd look at, and set the gear in the car to hit.
