Ok im supercharged currently at 600whp turning it up to 775-800whp soon, i have the stock 3.27 gears never had a problem, but trying to see if i should keep them or go 3.45 or 3.73 since the convertibles are heavier. Im in Houston where the land is flat and my weight with the iron block, maggie supercharger and my mechanic tools in the trunk im probably at 4500 to 4650lbs. It also has circle d 3200 stall too. 20s front and 18 rear drag pack with 305/45/18.I dont track or drag it, its my dd but i do light to light and fwy pulls occasionally.

I'm interested in opinions on this. I'm ~800rwhp and will be 900 in the future with stock 3.45 but I'm an M6 coupe. I'm going to a ZL1 rear and need to do 3.23 or 3.73...

I think 3.45 is just right at this level but I need a beefier non-costly rear end.

I had the ZL1 3.73s and switched to the 3.23s for running the Texas Mile. The 3.73s are better for the street

Do the math and you’ll find the answer that fits your combo...
