3.90 sounds good to me. I have 4.10's but a little higher wouldn't hurt anything.

I would have gotten 3.90's instead of 3.73's but they weren't available for the 8.8 rear when I changed mine out because I think the 4.10's are too low a gear for the street.

3.90's aren't available from FMS and FMS is the gear of choice for gear swaps. You can get 3.90's from other companies though.
