I know you don't drag your car but a rule thump in racing is you go the tallest gear you can for your trap speed. You can run arund 130 mph with 4.10's and still cross the traps in 4th.

No way no how are you anywhere near that range with your mods so the 4.10's are a no brainer for racing. Hell, I'd get 4.30's but that's cause I like to race.

In your case from what you described, I would say the 3.73's would probably be the best bet for you. However, saying first gear is useless on 4.10's or saying your rpm's will be crazy is just not true. There are always variables. 1st gear will hold fine with some good rubber on the street but you don't strike me as a guy who wants to run 555R's on the street and be changing expensive tires every 10K miles. The truth is the difference in rpm between 3.73 and 4.10 at 80 mph is about 300-400 rpm so it's not a huge difference.

The 4.10's will give you more seat of the pants thrill and make your car feel way faster but from what you've described and what gear you have now, the 3.73 will also be a big improvement and be better suited for you I believe.

Remember when you are reading opinions onthe internet, they are usally not considering what you want to do with the car and commenting on what is the best they personally would like to have. That's why you have so many 4.10 pro comments.

Yeah, I would normally say 4.10's also but for what you laid out - I would recommend the 3.73's
