3.91
I say move atleast a half a ratio or leave it as is. Now if your replacing the whole rear like a new 9" upgrade or ZL1 diff then do what you want.

3.91 gears here...huge difference from the stock ones.
I also recommend a short throw shifter, either the factory 1LE/ZL1 or the MGW (I just put that one in). |

The GM 3.91 gear upgrade is a heck of a deal, especially when you look at other gear sets. Very popular mod.

AAM 3.91s I only lost 2mpg and it made a big difference.

Another vote for 3.91. By upgrading the stock M6 equipped Camaro SS to 3.91s you will realize an equivalent torque gain of approximately 13% or 55 lb.-ft. of torque. It really helps get these big cars moving faster. And if you get the GM 1LE 3.91 kit and have a Chevy dealer install it you will not impact your warranty.
