    Default 3.9s or 4.1s

    Putting some gears and a true track in my vz ss 6L would 4.11s be to much overkill. The car does allot of hi way kms anyone got ideas? Btw the car has 20s with 225/35 tires if anyone can tell me what revs ill be doing at 100km/110km with 3.9s and 4.11s that would make it an easy choice?

    If your doing alot of highway km's and fuel economy is a concern to you, i would stay away from 4.11's as it will rev much higher (i'd say roughly 2500rpm at 100kph) which will lead to higher fuel usage (3.9's will roughly rev at 2200rpm at 100kph). IMO i'd go with 3.46 or 3.73's if it's an auto & your stock gears are still 3.07's. Just my 2 cents...

    I got 20s with 3:9 gears at 100km/h I sit on 2350rpm.

    Quiet nice actually
    I'd recommend 3:9s ull love the kick.

    4:11 might be too much if ur doing many hwy Ks.

    3.45 to 3.9 is f'all if your car is manual (which you haven't stated)

    4.11's are much better suited for an M6 as 6th gear will be more useable
