Default 4.30 or 4.56

Im thinking about taking a loan out and getting a new rear. Im trying to decide if i want to go with a bigger gear. Im currently runing 3.90 it pulls really hard. I want to make sure that i wont be bangin of the rev limiter going throught the 1/4 mile with my setup. I know there used to be a guy from around my way that had close to the same setup but when he went to the track and sprayed it would bounce of the rev limiter. I guess im just wondering if 4.56 is way to tall will 4.30 be good. I drive the car occasionally on the high way to work. Let me know what your guys opinions are. thanks

I am thinking 4.10s with a auto and spray. Depends on tall of a tire you want to run and what your going to rev this motor to.

its only going to spin up to like 6600-6700, i was thinking 4.10 wouldnt be much of an increase over the 3.90's i was thinking 4.30 would be good because i would still get a good kick off the bottle

need to know tire size and vehicle weight as well.. I used this to help, http://www.f-body.org/gears/

I am going to be running 28" bias plys (grows to 29"), 4.30s, spinning to 7000 rpm, and my car will weigh around 2900 without me in it. I was planning on 150 shot.

i would like to get the best et overall but it would be nice to seet he NA best. If i went with the 4.30 would it be pointless for the nitrous to even to be used?
