4.56 or 4.10 gears for a M6 383 LT1 stroker?

Looking at buying a Strange S60 for my '95 Z28 and trying to decide whether to go 4.10 or 4.56? The car is a M6 and will have an LE3 built heads/cam 383 stroker. Car will be mostly street driven with occasional track time for fun. What are your opinions? Thanks!

4.10's. You do not want 4.56's in a street driven car. I had 4.56's when I bought my car, 1st and 2nd were pretty much useless and you were stupid high in the rpm range on the highway. I would even venture to say you may be happier with 3.73's if you're not going to race it seriously.

Agree 100%. When I first went to the S60, I did the 4.56s, they only lasted about 4 mths, switch back to 4.10s.

Quick replies! Thanks for the input guys! Looks like 4.10's it is

4.56's are bad ass, you can start off in 3rd like it's 1st and even 4th trying a little harder lol..

Truthfully the real answer here depends on what size tire and RPM you plan on running, but I would agree that 4.56s are (most likely) too much.

Good point... I ran a 30 series 315 on an 18" rim

If he were planning to run it as a serious drag car, then yeah, all that is very much true. 4.56's are far too much in a street driven car, I can tell you that from personal experience, as can NuckinFutz.
