Very rarely I highway as I'd drive my vt super 6 on highway trips . And I woulda thought 4.11 in an auto would rev like mad on highway being only 4 gears?? And I've been told I 6th with 4.11 still only sits under 2000rpm??

If you only really drive it around town then go 4.11.

Thanks for the comments . Wouldn't it be a bitch to get traction at the strip tho? I Imagine it will shred tyres at a rapid rate with 4.11s and cam.

The townsville track is a pain to get traction on in any car. At first you might have a bit of trouble but after a few goes you will get the hang of launching it with the 4.11

I have 4.11's and a T56 and more power. A bigger cam will appreciate more revs around town, highway is still only about 1800rpm and as I mentioned the tall first gear suits these gears. GTS's came with 3.9's from factory, a few extra revs won't hurt and you'll love them.
