I'd get 3.73s. With that much power you probably wouldnt have much fun on the street with 4.10s, you'd be topped out in no time.

+1 on the 3.73's 3.55's wouldn't be noticeable enough and 4.10's would alway blow the tires off.

4.10's are a bad choice when running that much and that kind of power. It is not necessary to multiply tq when you have a kenne bell.. And the longer you can hold your gears the longer you are going to pwn things.... ask yourself this..Is the car going to see a lot of track time? If so i would go 3.73's. If street racing is your thing, i would go with 3.55's. Hope this helps.

I agree with dimebag if its a street car because you'll probably doing digs up to about 100 and do some suspention too so you wont roast your tires off

If your car was an automatic I would go with 3:73's, but since you have a 5 speed and street racing is your thing go with the 3:55's.
