If you're not gonna S/C it for that long, just go 4.10s for now, then buy 3.73s when you go FI. That's what I'm doing.

RE: Gear Questions
ok if you go FI and have anything bigger than a 3:73 then make sure you get a centri. if you get atwin screwyoull kick yourself. they increase acceleration and lower top speed. people say go with 3:73's if you go FI but its not necessary. my own opinion go with 3:90's but thats just my .02

No, 4.10's are fine for daily driving. People make 4.10's sound like they aren't streetable. I make 300 mile round trips to my family's lake house with them all the time. They are fine. I average 15-16 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway. 1st gear does spin, but it realy isnt that bad.
