Default Gears for Z06

For those running 4.10s, how do you rate them on the highway? What RPM are you at in 6th gear around 75mph? Some one posted the ratios on this site, but as usuall the search engine would not cooperate. I'm thinking this is my logical next mod, but would be interested in hearing from others w/them. Where to buy, how much to pay??

Thanks.

In my opinion with your mods I think the 4:10's might be too steep, 3:90's would be great. I guess it all depends on what kind of driving you will be doing...track, auto X or street.

Default Re: Gears for Z06 (brent eb02)

I just got back driving my Z06 70 miles on the highway and the 4.10 gears SIMPLY ROCK. At 80 mph i am only spinning around 2400 rpms and the car is always right at her sweet spot when driving aggressively..

Also, i would think since your into drag racing and the three Z06s on this forum turning consistent 10 sec. time slips (BRENT , J-ROD & KH 24) all run 4.10s in their bad to the bone Heads cam set ups, that this decision for you would BE A SLAM DUNK!!!! Get the 4.10s and never LOOK BACK and all people will see are yourTAILIGHTS!!!! :cheers: :cool: :steering:
