Hope you have a daily driver. That thing is going to eat gas. I'd go 3.73 tops if you are going to be using the car outside of the track.

I've read a lot on it because I've been trying to decide which gears to get. 99% of the people say if you have an M6 like you and I do to go with the 4.10's because the 3.73's won't make much of a difference. They also said that you get decent gas on the highway.

There's more of a difference between 3.42's and 3.73's than there is with 3.73's and 4.10's.

Yeah but no one has 3.73's stock so 4.10's make a bigger difference over 3.42's than do 3.73's.

If I were you, I would def. buy the 4.10s, I think the jump from 3.42s to 3.73s is a waste. You have 4 speeds, and 2 overdrives more or less, you will do fine on the highway, as long as you don't plan on cruising at 90mph, you should be fine. Get them. my buddy had them with an auto and a nitrous kit, the only problem was that with the nitrous armed, and the car in drive, the smoke show would never end, unless traction control was on.lol
