3.73 works pretty good with the 6 speed. If it's the .8 .6 OD unit. But 3.91 is usable here too.

Jay,
I was being sarcastic... Being as we have no idea of how he wants to use the car it is impossible to make a real recommendation.
If he just wants to cruise, then you take the trans, plus the O.D. of the rear tires and the RPM he wants to run and put it into the tremec calc and it will tell you the gear.
I have a 3.15 40% lock and a 3.46 60%. I had a 3.91 40% lock.
If you just drive the car on the street and you are in 1st gear and you can smoke the rears at 1/2 throttle you do NOT need more gear.. you really need less gear.
If you race that is different. I autocross and do not want to change gears. So on a fast course I will use the 3.15's and on a tighter course I will use the 3.46's.
