Default 05 mods

Hi Guys:
I have 05 with a4 tranny. The vette has long tubes headers with 1 3/4 primaries and to a 3" collectors with 2.5" x pipes and a B&B bullets axleback. I recently installed a Vararam sc1 CAI and a Asp underdrive pulley. I am planning on installing a 3.70 ring & pinion, a torque converter and a camshaft. The vette is a daily driver and but ocasionally will go to the track. my questions are:

1-should I go with a 3.70 or 4.10 ring & pinon?
2-I am checking on cams,which one should I go with a 224-230 or a 230-234 with 114 ICL and around 580s & 610s in lift(duration @.50)or any other?
3-Is a 2800 stall speed converter sounds good for this set up?
or what do you recommend?

Check out my signature. Do you still have cats? I hope so because with the cam you will smell the exhaust big time. My car is very streetable but is in the low 11's at the track. Your will be LOUD with a cam and your exhaust so be ready.

I built mine from the rear forward ie: 3.73 diff with a hardened steel output shaft, 3200 Yank, then intake and headers and finally the cam.

Have fun! Listen to my run at the track. That is my car that you hear.

Jeff
