Nice numbers for just headers, CAI and a tune. You now have yourself a 12 sec car if you can hook. I only lost 1 mph but ran 1.5-2 tenths quicker when I went to 3.73's (and I spun in 2nd gear). The 4.10's will give you more torque..much easier to spin the tires.

You will need to get better hooking tires with the 4:10s. You will spend for a second or two when you power shift to second.

4.10s and DRs should yield a .2 -.3 improvement IMO

I think 4.10 and dr would improve more than .2 to .3. With 3.55 and crappy nitto 450s, my best 1/8 mile time corrected is 8.9. With 4.10s and BFG KDWs my best 1/8 mile corrected is 8.4.
