4.10 is a bigger gear than a 3.73... 4.10 is more useful for the strip.... and i duno what the hell granny shifitin is i think it is made up junk..... power brake , brake torque, burnout, all the same thing... 1 foot on the gas another on the brake, that is if it is a n auto... manual same just u gotta fit the clutch in there.... 3 pedals with 2 feet.....

Don't powerbrake with a stick. Just rev up to the proper RPM and dump the clutch.
Stand on your brake and hit the gas with your auto. When it starts *******, you want to launch at the RPM right before it wants to.
Granny shifting...taking nice, easy shifts. Heel Toe, using all 3 pedals at once for braking, engine braking, and gassing it outta the turn.
Power shifting...keeping the gas down and not taking it off when you shift
Rev matching....getting engine and transmission input shaft RPM's at the same speed, eliminating the "lurch" when you shift and are a little off.

With a line locker you can power brake a stick, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise (unless you like replacing pads and rotors).
Granny-shifting = shifting way early, driving like my sister, etc. When I'm not screwing around I granny shift the hell out of my 5.0 - try and shift way before peak torque (I can get up to freeway speeds nearly as fast in my stang as in my subaru, except in the stang I can shift at 2500 every time.)
