The wide ratio kit changes the first and second gear ratios from 2.47 and 1.43 to 2.7x and 1.55 if I remember the ratios correctly. The lower ratios would be good for towing or offroading or if you have a high (numerically low) axle ratio in your truck or are running oversize tires with the stock axle ratio. If I rebuild my C6, I'm planning to go with the low gear kit, since it is only about $350.

I say go for it...I rebuilt mine. For a wide ratio c6, you need the e4od planets, sun shell, ring gear, and various other things I don't remember right this second. Make sure to keep it CLEAN and check EVERYTHINg for wear.
