Default Getting blown, gear questions

Im having a saleen stage 1 kit from JDM installed in 2 weeks. I currently have 4.10s in the car (manual). I use the car as my DD and on the hiway mostly. JDM says about 440-450 at the rear. Im thinking of switching to 3.73's. Whats some of your experiences.

I would keep them and try it out and then make a decision. Never too much torque, just not enough traction.
