3.73's or 4.10's

700rwhp should eat the tires up at will in the lower gears on any street legal tire. However, I think whether a 700rwhp car has traction issues is not the OP's real question. OP is likely to have traction issues on street tires with 4.10's and boost. Heck, my N/A 283rwhp car will light the 315 tires up under throttle at will in first and unless you are soft on the 1-2 gear change, it will roast them again. That is with 3.90 gears and only 297lb/ft torque. My ET Street radials DO hold better, but those tires are REAL soft and NOT streetable.

op, there are going to be a million different answers from a million different people. it really comes down to your driving style which will change as the car changes and time goes by. some people has gone as low as 4.56s and swear by them, others have gone turbo and switched back to a 3.27. so if you're that worried about it, do like trublue said and spit it with the 3.90s. theres really not a huge difference between 3.73s and 4.10s anyways

The difference between 3.73 and 4.10 really is pretty significant.
The difference is equivalent to comparing the stock 3.27 ratio to a theoretical 3.60 ratio, or a 4.10 ratio to a theoretical 4.51 ratio. You can definitely tell the difference. 10% more rpms and 10% more torque multiplication is significant.

Is your car an auto or manual? Im running a supercharged 3650 and i switched my 4.10 for 3.73. Im running a 26in tire and was having to shift to 4th gear in a 1/8 and loosing time. Just depends on what your plans are for the car but i would say 3.73.

How are NT01s not a street tire. When I was running them they didn't even have the drag radial version out yet.

I have 410's and am also FI.. I gotta admit though, it's hit or miss. Sometimes, I can get off the line clean as h** and then sometimes I'm spinning like a ****.. I really thought about going down to 373's but I decided to stay with the 410's and maybe getting some better rubber this year...GL my man!

You little bolt on guys crack me up. Just because you haven't or can't do it you think no one else can.
When you build a car that can beat a mildly modded Neon SRT4 then come and lol @ me.
