Nice, you got the good gears.

 

Would you go 3.42 or 3.73s if you were gonna change em.

 

I'd man up and go with 4.10's.

 

Really? I was thinkin that the 4.10's were a little steep for a daily driven car. What would my rpms be at at 60mph or highway speed?

 

4.10s are definitely steep for a DD. My friend has them in his '00 Z28, and he regrets it. I'd say 3.42s.

I'm gonna have to check the door on my '96 to see what gears I have next time I go home...

 

Go with 3.73's then.

 

I think it depends on what you want your goals are for the car. Once you have a pretty firm grasp on that, go with the setup that will best help you get there. With what I gathered you're going for, I'd say 3.42s are plenty.

 

Yeah i figured they would be good, thanks. Any particular brand recommended?

 

how big of a difference would there be from the 3.42s and the 3.73? Im eventually tryin to go with full bolt ons, cam, and headers.

 

idk about brands...and 3.42s will get you slightly better fuel economy than 3.73s, which I just assume would be appreciated for a DD. My planned mods are pretty similar to yours, but i haven't done any research into gears yet.
