3.73's a good combo on the track or on the street?

really i thought that the 3.55 would be all round good for the daily driver who still wants to play a little

I have a C6 with a 2.77 rear, I am looking for a 3.2 posi. I am driving the Hot Rod Power Tour Tomorrow and I cannot imagine how much more money a 3.77 would cost. Plus with the 2.77 and a 3spd 70-75 mph isn't too bad.

Hopefully for both. I won't be driving it on the freeway too much, it will be more of a cruiser. I live in the Bay Area, CA so with all of the traffic here you can't go faster than 25 mph anyway LOL!!

I have 3:55's in my 8 inch which with my C4 it runs about 2900 rpm at about 55 - 60 mph.. But thats okay, the plan was to install an AOD which should get that down to about 1,900. I'll still have that great launch and good highway RPM...

living in los angeles, you have to go like 80 or get passed by - kinda sucks on doing alot of highway if you had those 411 gears
in the process of acquisitioning the 9" and the guy from streetrod mentioned going with 3.25 as a good compromise

my car with stock 2.80 rear end and C4 runs 80 at 3000 RPM. BUT when you get up to 100, it's at 4000 rpm, and i dont like to rev much higher then that.
