Default gear for 95 6-speed coupe

I want to increase low end performance without doing a lot of mods. I was told that putting a 4.10 gear or even a 4.56 gear would be my best bet. Does anyone know how bad this would be on the highway?

I put 4.10 in my 94 6 speed vert. Luv 'em. I don't think the're too much for the highway. Seems to run around 3k at 95mph. That's good highway cruzin' speed, isn't it? :smash:

I have a ZF6 and 3.73s in my '91 Z28. I am happy with the performance of the 3.73s. I run 112 MPH in the quarter with 'em. :chevy

HI Casey, welcome to the forum.
If you serious about drag racing 4.56 for a 6m car with my 325x50x15 drag radials would be a super hot set up.
