I'd let the car breath as a first priority. How I'd do it going from stock (this is just my opinion); Intake, throttle body, plenum, x-pipe or h-pipe, and cat back....to start....headers of course if you've got the spending money (I heard great things about L/T's)

From reading the above quotes of yours, it sounds like you are going back and forth. You say if he isn't going to s/c his car, go with 4.10s. Meaning if he was to s/c it he shouldn't go 4.10s. But now in your last post you say go 4.10s with either a s/c or spray yet in almost every other thread you post in you say 3.73 with a s/c.
I would run 4.10's N/A, S/C, or nitrous, but never turbo because my car is not a strip monster purpose built for making the best et's. But that is for my car. My car is going to be built to be a fun car to drive on the weekends and tackle anything i want to throw at it, be it corners or time clocks at the drag strip.

OP wants something fun for the street and going to the track. for a s/c car, purposely built for the track, would run 3.73's or 3.55's that way they arent trapping out past 6k but for me im not concerned with that.

Most people will go with 3.73's with a blower simply because they like to race them at the track and they might help with getting traction and not running out of rpm at the end of the track. The reason why I recommend them in other threads is simply because most people that put blowers on their cars do it to run good times at the track, and for those with track oriented cars would run 3.73's to not run out of rpm as bad in the 1/4. This is why i suggest to go 3.73's on most. For fun on the street, i would be running 4.10's with a properly setup suspension and decent tires. But thats just me. Thought about doing a blower this summer but i'd rather do a magnum t56 swap and put off the blower til i know what im doing with the engine combo next summer. So for now, i'll probably be running 4.10's or 4.30's with a magnum T56 swap.
