Default how much will a 4.10 rear improve 0-60 time

I have a 2007 c6 and I am thinking about a new 4.10 rear. How much will it improve my 0-60 or 1/4 mile time?
Thanks

My best 0-60 time is 3.4 seconds with 3.90 gears before my cam install.

Depends on what rear tires you're using...on stock/OEM tires it might only be a tenth or two and it could even go slower due to wheelspin.
On a drag radial/ET Street 'slick' tire you will see a vast improvement once the tires are heated properly (and if the clutch holds).

Default Spin Dr.

I have 4:10`s in my 06` convt, with some mods, and I can tell you, with the traction control off its a tire spinning contest from a stop in 1st. So should I start my 0-60 time, after I hook up??? LOL!!!

There are way to many variables to factor in to just give you a number.

Tire grip, engine power, engine redline weight all play a part.

You will also need to factor in shifting since it will take place earlier.

Do you have a manual or an auto?

If you have an auto then a torque converter with stock gearing would be a better bet than just switching to 4.10s.

In a manual 4.10s would be a beast though.

Note that you WILL need tires to fully use them.
