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

3.73 here. I feel its perfect for variable speed road courses. Makes using 3rd gear out of some of the slower corners possible. I'll spin near 6500 on some of the longer straights at 130ish MPH. No need for 5th gear which is technically an overdrive. I had to shift to 2nd much more with the 3.42s. I can't imagine 4.10s working well unless it is a very low speed course.

3.73 with direct top 4 speed Muncie. OK for all UK tracks with the possible exception of Snetterton. Oh I have 18" rims and 275 x 35 tyres.
