I've heard this several times now from customers. Pretty cool.

How about 3.55s for the v6? worth it or not?

[BlessedChef10]

Is there some sort of forcefield that is keeping anyone from responding about gears for the V6? Come on man somebody has to have a V6 camaro with new gears....

Lol, I told you everyone is waiting on you to go first. Seriously, Richmond needs to go more aggressive on the V6 gear set. I think there are plenty of V6 guys interested but are nervous that the 3.55 won't have enough improvement to justify the expense.

LOL, thats my issue too.

I would be interested in seeing those numbers, but if your worried about running out of gear at the track don't. These gear sets aren't that aggressive. There are 4.30s coming out and even those won't.

not worried about running out of gears.. though wouldnt want to have to shift to 5th gears so no 5.20 for me LoL
just curious how short first gear gets.. Im thinking 3.73 for me but afraid I might start spinning first.. im on street tires..

If your putting 600 hp to street tires 3.73 is probably the way to go. With you horsepower level there are a couple of other things you should consider doing while you have your rear end ripped out, like upgrading your bushings and maybe some traction bars.

yea planning on going to 305 or 315 street tires like nitto or pirelli so thinking 3.73 might give me a lil more grunt without sacrifying 70mph 6th gear rpm or spinning too much

Even with the 4.10s you would still be under 2000 rpm at 70 mph, but obviously 3.73 will be lower while still giving you better acceleration.
