depends on your combo.

what tires you running?
what rpm is redline?
vehicle weight?
HP?

those are probably the major ones.

i have 3.70 gears on a 3 speed c6 with 28" tires and i think its fine on the freeway. If you use your car everyday for commuting you might not like it but really its perfectly liveable IMO.

BTW 3.70 gears w/a C6 and 28" tires is equivalent (freeway RPM) to running 4.90 gears on a mustang with an overdrive gear and 26" tall tires so if i had a small block i would definately get the 4.10's to try to make up for the lack of torque UNLESS youre trapping both 125+mph AND have a shift point under 6500rpm
