Default 4.10 or 3.90 with T56 / LS6

Hello!!

What is your recomendation for rear end ratio for a street/strip use . 4.10 or 3.90 ? Or is there really a big difference? I dont want the first to be too short.Or can it be too short at all My tire is 25,5" tall (275/35/18)

Plese share your experiences .

An LS1 T56 first gear with 4.11's, a 25.5 inch tire and a 6,000 rpm redline should be good for about 40 mph. How much do you want?

I have 4:11's +T56+LS6 and I wouldn't have it any other way. I can lift my right front tire launching!

Thanks Mickey!

I have no idea what i "want" . I am just after a good ride. Yes i love to spins tires and drive hard as we all do , but at the same time i am after a good driver. If 1.st is too short its pain to drive at the city.

I am not saying 1st is bad,I am just saying when you are on the wood that 1st runs out real quick.

Well, if you think your first gear is too short you can always start on a higher gear. Like Clarkson did on Top Gear when he started the Z06 on fifth.
