I installed Motive 4.11 gears and love them. With the M6 tranny, you can cruise on the interstate at 80 MPH and still only turn around 2100 RPM.

Traction wasn't as big of a problem as I had thought it would be either. I'm still able to cut 2.1 60' times on street tires.

I trap around 108 MPH and am still in 4th gear. You won't have to worry about shifting into 5th in the 1/4 mile unless you're trapping around 115. And, if you're trapping that high, you've hopefully done a heads/cam package to allow you to raise the rev limiter ... meaning you'll still be in 4th.

All in all ... I'm glad I went with 4.11 over 3.73.

I have to agree with rncotton. MPG is not bad at all, I get ~27 highway and ~17 city.

And don't worry about traction. Lowered without relocation brackets or SFC's I was in the 2.0 60ft range with a best 2.03. Add relocation brackets and SFC's now I get mid 1.9's with a best of 1.94. This is all on my 245/50/16 all seaon radials w/32psi. I would recommend relocation brackets even if your car isn't lowered. Just use the top hole. And I would recommend bolt on's if you have the stock rear because they are much easier intall and you can sell them. (mine are weld in )

Some may try to say 3.73's for a m6 but if mine break or I get a 12 bolt I'll get 4.10's again.
