You are going to be running about the same rpm no matter which combo you go with. If you can fit it go with the 28 and 4.10.

assuming you still have a lockup with overdrive 4l60

at 75mph with the 3.73 you will be close to 2650 rpm

at 75 mph with the 4.10 you be little less than 2700 rpm
so yea the big tire is the best choice.

What tire size can you run. I can use yourtire size to find the best compatible ratio.

4.10s for you. I have 4.11s in my M6 car and I wish I'd gone with 4.30 or 4.56 for that cam. But since noone has said it yet, don't blow your money on gears for a 10 bolt.

What is your trap speed and/or RPM goal for the 1/4 mile?

I am most likely gonna say 3.73 so you do not run out of gear or hit rev limiter butI want to be sure.
