Which gears?

[Rem152]

Here's my predicament I have a kenne bell right now on my 06 putting down 440 rwhp and I was contemplating on changing out the stock gearino for some 3.73's keep I'm mind this is a DD/Street Driven car so should I stick with the 3.55's or move on up?

4.10s .....do not fear the gear !

and make sure you have a shop that does plenty of rear ends ...

4.10's FTW

With the manual, 4.10's are the gear of choice. The automatic's like the 3.73's better.

4.10s is what I ran and loved them

stick with 3.55's. dont need that much gear with a blower. only going to hurt your short times.

Another vote for 4:10's here.

Stick with 3.55's or maybe 3.73. With a blower why would you need that much gear? You will blow the tires in first anyway what do you think 4.10 will do? Plus you have to ask and answer about your driving habits.....more city? Highway? Just a weekend car? Is gas mileage a concern? Actually don't care still 3.55 or 3.73 IMHO.

Kenne Bell auto and 4.10's here. I get better than stock mileage in the city. Not better on the highway. With street tires the car is worthless. With drag radials it hooks at the top of first then spins into second. On the track it sticks like glue. Hope this help a little. Mind you my car is far from a daily driver. Once or twice a month here.

And that is the key. How much are you planning to drive this car? Answer that and your gear questions becomes very clear.
