JayC is exactly right. 4.10's and a 28in tire will be real nice for yur setup. like posted above u want the higher gear to keep u in boost and in the rpm's where the blower is maximizing yur power output! the 4.10's will kick ***.

meh if your doing a ton of highway runs i'd go 3.55 or 3.73. if your about the drag strip or the fun factor, 4.10's all the way!

I'm pretty much looking for the fun factor and the occasional 1/4 mile. So 4.10's it is!

He will have no problem with 4.10s on the highway F/I, actually 5 gear will pull nicely.

yea but i was just saying if he plans to race past 118 then he might want to reconsider. but i agree totally 4.10's are awesome on the highway, just drop it to 4th and go! or 3rd if your feeling crazy

If you want to maximize your setup go with the 4.10's. It will put you so you are pulling to redline through the traps. My car is intercooled and making around 420 rwhp. I run my car on 26" slicks and drop it from my 2 step at 6000rpm to launch without problems I am in need or raising my rev limiter because my car runs out of gear on the top end, but I only need a few hundred more rpm and I plan on building an engine soon to spin faster than 6000 rpm.. 3.55's sucked in my car, after changing gears to 4.10's on my setup now I went from 1.76 60' to pulling 1.57 60' times and dropped from running 12.0's to 11.60's... they make a big difference. this is all without raising the rev limiter so its not pulling like it should the last 200' or so...and highway rpms in my manual are around 3000 at 70 so its bearable but not exactly nice. They are awesome for in town driving though
