Need info please on gears
I want to put gears in the car verses a cam for warranty reasons. I figured I can hide the gears but not the cam. I have a c6 6 speed manual with magnetic ride. I do not want to go with 410 rear I figured I would be shifting way too much. I was thinking of going with 390's. Any input would greatly help Thanks Guys

Here are some charts for quick comparison: http://mysite.verizon.net/foofoo2/c6/ - just click the 'gear' in the table for the transmission and gear combination to get a chart.
You didn't say 6 speed manual or auto, but assuming the manual there's not a lot of difference between the 3.90 and 4.10 - about 100 RPM cruising in 6th at 70 MPH.

No tune required on a stick car. You wont notice the difference between the amount of shifting between the two gearsets so I wouldnt make a choice based on that alone. Based on what little information you gave in your post Im guessing you dont need to worry about not being able to finish the 1/4 in fourth with the 4.10s. What are your other priorities that might affect your decision? Im 3.90 myself and not trying to talk you into one or the other but a little more information might get you more pointed information.
