Keep 4.10s or go back to 3.42's? My ring and pinion bearings are bad so while im changing it, i figure i might change the gears. Should i go back to 3.42's? I dont know if i am doing a bigger cam or going with nitrous. Opinions?

I'm going with a 3.50 gear with my 6sp. with the 9", i'll be running nitrous & the stock cam, i would say no steeper then 3.73s if your cammed, which i see you are, the bottle will be ALL the gear you'll need lol., so even 3.42s will be fine, so i vote YES to the 3.42s.

apparantly my driveshaft bottomed out and it fucked everything up. I dont know how it happened but i was driving and randomly heard metal to metal when slowing down and whining while driving. Had a mechanic check it out and he said it was bearings. So im stumped..

I recently just had 4.10s and it was all gravy til i broke 3 teeth of my pinion gear. Those 4.10s aint no joke but I still cant decide if I want to go back threw that again.

You 6sp. guys, set the 10 bolts aside, buy a 9", just my .2 cents.
I think the 3.73 would be a great gear for nitrous in your case even with it cammed, if you weren't running the juice, i would say 4.11/4.30s, but the nitrous is going to give you all the gearing you need LOL, if you know what i mean, thats why i'm staying with 3.50s in my 9", but i'm running a stock cam too.
