gear question, not your typical gear question
My bad bro.
You want my opinion? 2.73s. You lose time shifting in the 1/4 mile... 2.73s you'll run thru the traps in 2nd gear. 1 shift = lower ETs
Wanna do bigboy stuff? Toss a powerglide with 2.73s

Just my opinion... I would not even consider installing more than 4.30 gears into a DD street car. You can try it and see what I mean or you can take my word for it. LOL
Seriously, I would go with 4.10's or 4.30's at the most. I don't really think you want to run out of rpm's in 4th gear and have to shift into overdrive at the track. Hell, with 5.18's you would probably have your 1-2 gear change in your 60' time.
Check and see what other guys with ~400-450rwhp are running for gears and see what their ETs and Traps are. You also need to make sure they are running a 5 spd like you.
Let us know what you decide, and ultimately how it works out for you!
GOOD LUCK!
