JM20 ... I am surprised at those numbers. I would have thought the 4:10 would have been up over 2000 rpm's. I am running the 3:42's I think, so going to 4:10's would make a lot of difference. I can sure relate to your comment of actually passing someone in 6th however it is fun to feel the go when shifting down to 4th or 5 th for a pass.

I went with 3.90's in my Z06, now that I've had them for a few months I'm glad I chose them over the 4.10.
Took me a few weeks to get used to the new gear ranges and I had to upgrade to a stickier tire to put the power down.

4.10's would be 1800 RPM's (And apparently you can actually pass someone in 6th gear)
I've also read the highway fuel loss with 4.10's is approx ~2mpg
