and like Chedbob said...4.10 for Auto and 3.73 for 5spd. but everyone likes a different ratio...me...3.73s. 3.90's are a good compromise though.
the 3.90 is what i want but they dont make em for a 6

Did you stick with the stock rearend on your v6, or did you upgrade it? I got a V6 which I am planning on changing the gears. Thanks,

You can run 4.10's with the T-lock in the 7.5" rear.

You only need to upgrade to an 8.8 if you're like running over 350rwhp or something..lol
