Default Changing Rear End Gears

I've got a 2014 Z15- 7 speed and would like to change my rear end ratio. Have any of you changed your rear end ratios? Does anybody know of any vendors selling ring and pinions for C7s? It would be nice to have some 3.91, or even some 4.10 available. Thanks for your time and replies.

99% sure that nothing is available.....just add more power, it's easier and cheaper.

I've just made some inquiries with forum vendors, and will post their responses.

This was the reply from RPM:

We currently do not have any rear gear options for the C7 and will not be
doing them till one of the gear manufactures decides to produce a gear for
them as we have looked in to the cost of having gear sets made and the R&D
cost combined with tooling for them would make the price we would have to
sell the gears at way to high for many to justify buying

Exactly. The car already is damn fast, but if you want that insane acceleration then add some power, not swap gears.
