Gears or Roller Rockers?

I have just enough for Gears or Roller Rockers for my car, I was either between 3.90 or 4.10s, its a m6 with a m29 tranny so the ratios are slightly different than 94-97.. and I have 3.23:1 final gear atm. Thanks for your opinions!

Edit - I have LTs, Mufflex ORY, Magnaflow catback, Moroso CAI and PCM4Less Tune

Well my question to you is- Do you have the ability/tools to install the gears yourself? If so I would go with the 4.10s first... If not then I would probly do the rolerrockers assuming you will do them youself...

First of all, with an M6, if gears are the choice, don't waste your time with anything less than 4.10's. My choice, gears all the way, you will feel it more than rockers.

I would probably opt for the gears as well.

i think everyone is going to tell you gears, but dont forget you are going to need a tune to correct speedometer

You can't correct the speedometer with a tune on the '93 cars. The autos you can fix, but to correct the m6, you have to buy the Dakota Digital box.

I vote gears as well, I have an m29 too, but I have 3.73s in the back

FWIW, here are the gear ratios:
GR - M28 -- M29 -- 94+
1 -- 3.36 -- 2.97 -- 2.66
2 -- 2.07 -- 2.07 -- 1.78
3 -- 1.35 -- 1.43 -- 1.30
4 -- 1.00 -- 1.00 -- 1.00
5 -- 0.80 -- 0.80 -- 0.74
6 -- 0.62 -- 0.62 -- 0.50
