Rear Gear for Daily Driver/Track use - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If I am driving my car , but have manual heads/cam, would a 4.10 gear be too steep for highway use and driving to work and back? Or is the 3.91 better for daily driving, but still lightening up the car at the track a good bit?

Drag race or road course?

Been running 3.91’s for years in my M6.

Since your heads and cam Id go 4.10s without even thinking about it.

I drag race the car, but i also will be making an hour long highway trip every other weekend starting next month. I know 6th gear is long but i dont wanna cruise at too high of an rpm going 75-80mph on the highway. I know the 4.10 is the better move for the track though, just dont want the car to be annoying to drive going to the store or work and cruising on the highway.

I daily mine with 4.10s on the interstate and it doesnt have any overdrives since Im running a th400. The TR6060 has two overdrives so youl be fine.
