What would you choose? Better gear ratio or strength? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ive been researching doing either 4.10s or 3.90s in my ss diff or doing a zl1 3.73 rear diff. This is For a m6 car.

So, say you plan to get stronger axles and a one piece drive shaft already ( i know they are different), what diff would you all choose? I am wondering if a zl1 with 3.73s could be a better option for the best 60 foot and overall et? Yeah, the gear ratio isnt as aggressive as a what you could get from a built ss rear. But it seems like you would be able to up your launch rpm, and leave much harder with less worry, and in the long run achive a better et. What do you all think?

If i could affort it, i think a fbo car with a 9 inch rear and a 15 inch conversion plus a built trans would be a blast to see what could be done without the worry of breaking.
