In short, Z06 gearsets are better for road racing, standard gears are better for drag racing or top speed.

The real hot deal setup for straight-line is the standard gearing, and then get new overdrive gears. You can have a steady progression upward with no big drops that way. If/when I get my tranny redone, I will likely do that.

Standard MM6:
1-2/2-3/3-4/4-5/5-6
33%/27/23/26/32

Z06:
30%/30/30/16/33

MM6 with G-Force OD set # 2 (0.8, 0.7):
33%/27/23/20/12.5
all very good, but I'm looking for the top speeds.

I found the speeds for a 2001 but not for the 03.. thanks!
