Default 10 bolt, 4.11 gears, nitrous w/ lack of bolt ons...

i have the factory 10 bolt with ~40k miles on it just a few bolt ons and i dont use the nitrous very often...will a steeper gear cause me major problems if im notta go go speed racer? I like to plant my *** in the seat every now and them and im trying ti figure out a way of doing that without touching the motor. I would go 3.73's but i have 3.42's i doubt it would be enough of a difference

just looking for opinions, i drive like grand ma with the exception of the occasional weekend cruise when the weather is nice, should i trust the 10 bolt enough?

As we all know, the 10 bolt is a piece of ****. if only these things came stock with 12 bolts... anyway, i have a lot of boltons with my 10 bolt. about 28,000 miles at the moment. id say **** the 3.73's and go for the 4.10's man. go big or go home. the difference be 3.42's and the 3.73's will be negligable. I'm sure you'd notice it, but its definetely not worth the 500 bucks its goona take to get the job done right. with the 4.10's, 1st gear will be good to 40, 60, 80, and 100 for 4th gear. its definitely more fun with the 4.10's. im having a problem with what i should spray. Im always on the street, and you knowhow the juice is. right now im spraying 75 and its not enough, but i still have big traction issues even with my 315 sumitomo's, so the DR will go on this summer. When I used to spray 125, I could bust the stock tires loose anytime in first gear by hitting that button. so you know that 125 will anihilate the tires with 4.10's in first, but i want to spray first gear cause im usually on the street. im gonna try skipping first and spraying 125 in 2nd and see how that goes when the weather gets nice. hope this helps. 4.10's are the way to go...
