Axle Ratio's
2.56*x6L80E = [10.31, 6.05, 3.92, 2.95, 2.18, 1.71] (*expected axle with A6)
2.73*x4L65E = [ 8.35, 4.45, 2.73, 1.91] (*current std A4 axle)
3.15*x4L65E = [ 9.64, 5.13, 3.15, 2.21] (*current hi perf A4 axle)
3.42*xT56 = [ 9.10, 6.09, 4.45, 3.42, 2.53, 1.71] (*current M6 axle)

Gear Ratio Sucks on 4th 5th and 6th.
[QUOTE=jkonkle]you have the close-ratio; if it's MN6 - if you have the automatic - you have upgraded rear-end to 3.15 ratio.

I have the Z51 and I think that the ratio on 4th 5th and 6th are poorly spaced; they are too far apart. 1-3 gears are just perfect.

Let's back up a minute. He could have meant transmission ratios, but likely meant rear axle.
If it's an automatic, the Z51 package gets you the 3.15 upgrade as part of Z51. All six speeds have 3.42 ratios.
