Default what gears to go with?

I am not sure what would go better with my setup 3.73's 04 3.90's? I have an automatic and a stock 10 bolt with a TA cover.

If the car is a daily driver and driven in the highways, I wouldn't go over 3.73. For track and stop light to stop light, yes, 3.90 or even 4.10 will be awesome. Good luck.

Like stated above it all depends on how the car will be used...I run 4.10s and a 28" tire and its a street strip car that I drive everywhere...Going from 3.73s and a 26" tire to 4.10s and a 28" with no other changes raised my traps from 119.75 to 121.14...Its all about what rpms you want to cross the traps at...

You cant go wrong with either of those 3 gear choices...I've pretty much always used 4.10s in small block applications for n/a use...
