Is your car M6 or A6?

bigmike10camaro · 12-13-2010, 05:38 PM

its a M6 forgot to put that info lol

If you decide to do the supercharger then I recommend 3.73, if you stay all motor then I recommend the 4.10s. With all the extra power upgrades you are making you will want to start looking at suspension upgrades soon so you can put that power to the pavement.

With these modern 6 speed cars it is nothing like the old days. Usually we only see a 1-2 MPG loss but we have some who see zero change and even a 1-2 MPG increase in cases where the vehicle is only driven in town. With the stock 3.45s you turn about 1600 RPM at 70 MPH in sixth gear. With the 4.10s you would only be doing 1900 RPM.

No problem. Feel free to hit me up if you have any other questions. We have 7 sets of 4.10s and 11 install kits on the shelf.

In the A6 you would be at 2050 RPM and 70 MPH with 3.73, in the M6 you would be at 1750 RPM.

nomadicdogg · 01-01-2011, 01:47 PM

I have the M6 so 1750 really isnt that much above factory.
not to shabby.
now Im really interested lol

Go for the 4.10s, they still keep you under 2k RPM and produce a 20% torque gain.

If had it to do over the gears would have been the first mod made.

I really want to go to 4.10s as well, but I am being told that the 4.10s are breaking a lot and that I should go with 3.73. My problem is that 3.73 may not be enough to be worth the money. I don't race (street or strip), so I probably won't be that hard on them. I can see maybe taking it to the track to do a couple of passes, but probably a life time of less than 10 runs. I'm running a lightly modded LS3 with 404rwhp. Not sure what to do.

There have been several reported failure cases with the Richmond 4.10's. I'm sure, overall, it's a very small percentage, but I am skeptical too. There are a couple other manufacturer's that are supposed to be releasing Camaro aftermarket gears this coming Spring. I believe it was Motive and U.S. Gear. If they say "Spring" it will probably be "Fall" before we see 'em. Be patient....and wait it out!!!! That's what I'm doing.
