3.70 or 3.91 gears?

I've got an A6 camaro ss. The plan is cam and heads swap, 3600 stall, gears, and MAYBE nitrous (150). Anyway which gear is better for roll racing? 3.70 or 3.91

3.91's if you stay all motor and have a triple disk converter that can be locked up at WOT. If your roll races extend beyond 125mph do 3.70's or stay stock. With nitrous and a triple disk converter do 3.70's. With nitrous and a single disk converter stay stock.

The converter will be triple disk. I don't know that they will go past 125 all that often. How big of a difference is there between 3.70 and 3.91? Really noticeable or just kind of noticeable?

Really noticeable.

3.91's in a L99 is mostly for those that's stock or with just bolt ons (headers and cai).

Racing from a roll? 3600 stall sounds too big, and I don't think I'd do a gear for a while either.

For my 4th gens, 150 shot would make a stall flash 500-1000 rpms above it's rating.
