Default New here what rear end gears????

I have a 95 z28 6 speed saw a few threads about autos but none on manuals I'm not sure what gear it has now from what I gather there were 2 options would 4.11 be a good option for me? Thanx for your help

i believe 95 had 3 options. gu4=2.73, gu5=3.23, gu6=3.42. if u drive it regular best would be 373s.

my last z had 342s and the one i have now has 323s. quite a difference. i will be going with the 373 12bolt or 370 9" ford once the built motor is in and i blow the one in the car. lol. the thing is even with the 6 speed u will be turning some high rpms at highway speed with a 411. if u drive the car regular and not just for race the high rpms will be very hard on the motor and gas bill.

look at a torque bar relocation set up. sam strano is a really good guy and can help alot when setting up suspension. changing gears is not an easy job. i dont do it my self. to easy to screw it up. i will be getting a complete defferential and driveline from spohn.

when i put my 373 in i really dident feel a dramatic differance not as much as you would with an auto. when i ripped some teeth off of the 373s i went with the 411s i was alot happier and with my 6 speed i think around 80mph was only at like 2100 rpm in 6th
