For strength which gear ratio is best 373 or 410
I have a 96 WS6 about 400 to the rear with a 6 speed , i'm changing gears til I can upgrade to a better rear end. I have a girdle, welded tubes and upgraded axles, I want to put in the stronger of the two ratios. I have hear varied opinions on this what is yours?
Thanks

Subject to contradicting evidence/experience, I'd have to agree . They use a 37/9 tooth count vs. the 41/11 or 41/10 that 3.73's/4.10's/ use. Less teeth on the ring should mean thicker teeth.
Depends what you're doing with the car though, and also what tranny you've got. As mentioned, an A4 will be A LOT easier on the diff than an M6 (but then it's almost pointless swapping from the factory 3.42's to 3.73's if that's what you're planning on doing? )

You broke some 4.11's but not the 3.73s? Is it because you drive safer on the new gears?
Yes, my gears are stamped with GM.
10 teeth on the pinion and 41 teeth on the ring gear (41/10= 4.10)
9 teeth on the pinion and 37 teeth on the ring gear (37/9 = 4.11)
