Default 4.10s

what kind of a 0-60 gain would there be from completely stock to stock everything but 4.10s?

i find traction an issue with even with my 3.73's. if i launch 1st good without spinning, 2nd and 3rd still chirp. the other day i launched hard spinning 1st (not on drag strip) and continued to spin till i hit 4th.

any gear upgrade, 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10 will make a difference. you have to decide how much you like 1st gear. i find it sometimes too quick even with 3.73's with normal grandma driving. i'd hate to see it with 4.10's, prolly be better just to go straight to 2nd lol.

You don't need 315's for traction. I have 17X9 stock style bullitts with 275/40/17 Nitto DR's and love them...
