4.10's will work with a supercharger.....tire height can always alter where the rpm range will be best... I have a few friends with S/c and 4.10's

I've got 4:10's on my car and I really enjoy the low end pull. The low gears help the car get moving, since it lazy down low with the h/c/i I have. First gear is really short however. I have an auto so it doesn't bother me. Instead of spending $2000+ on a good h/c/i you can get a used supercharger for cheap and make more power. Boost really is great. Just my .02

4.10's make the tires spin easier.
a buddy of mine just swapped 3.73's from the 4.10's he had b/c of that.
he still spins lol

torque makes the tires spin along with lots of power.....tell your buddy to reduce his power so wheels won't spin!!!! LOL

Youre thinking of Turbo. With a turbo, you dont want gears like 410s because the turbo spools under load
