Default gear questions

I see on many of the threads you guys have 4.10s i wanted to upgrade my gears so I got better performance out of my cams but I want a car that will be good for strip and track racing. I jeep hearing 4.10s are more for strictly drag cars but at the same time people say they're great in our cars. I have the stock 3.31s right now so what should i do 3.73 3.90 or 4.10 and should i upgrade the diff and axles as well? (Its a gt so it has the tractionlok standard)

I can't speak for track racing as I haven't done that yet. I've ran my car down the strip with the 4.10's and I love them. I went back and forth between 4.10's and 3.73's for a while. I'm so glad I went with the 4.10's. Looking at your sig, I wouldn't say you need to upgrade axles and diff.
