Default 373 vs 390 vs 410

I have just purchased an 03 GT. I am at the very begining of hopefully a long road performance upgrades. The end result is a supercharger. In the mean time I would like to start with the gears. There is alot of info here but no one really gets into the meat of the choices. I will not be racing this at the track. It will be solely for my driving pleasure around town some long roadtrips and up and down Skyline drive in the mountains. I want the power but not 12MPG or have to wind out the gears to get to 100. Which of these gear selections would be the best choice. Thanks!

I'd go with the 3.90's. 3.73s are nice, buttt I think you'd like 3.90s much better, you will still be able to cruise around and take all the trips you want, and still have a little bit better performance over the 3.73s. just my opinion
