I would think that the 3.73 set up would be good but the 4.10 or 4.11 seems like it might be a little better. Is there anybody out there who has done one and liked the combo that they got?

When equipped the the automatic transmission (A6) the SS comes with a 3.27 rear end and cruises at 1795 RPM at 70 MPH. By upgrading the factory 3.27s in the stock A6 equipped Camaro SS to the 3.73s you will realize an equivalent torque gain of approximately 15% or 61.5 rear wheel lb.-ft. of torque and cruise at 2050 RPM at 70 MPH. By upgrading the A6 to the 4.11s you will realize an equivalent torque gain of approximately 27% or 110.7 rear wheel lb.-ft. of torque and cruise at 2250 RPM at 70 MPH. The A6 transmission is geared more aggressively than the M6 SS so we have found that 3.73 is the ideal gear for most A6 equipped SS applications.
