3.73's or 4.10's

combo
heads/cam peaks @ 6300 but carries flat till 6600+
tci 3500 converter but will restall in the future for 4000+

basically with all the calculators i should be ok shifting @ 6600 without hitting 4th gear but you know how racing calcs can be so i need some advice...personally I'd rather go with the 4.10's. I run 26X9.5X16 hoosier QTP's. IM probably not gonna be able to lay down trap speeds of more than 115 for a while so whats that like 117 exit or so? Hopefully i can get some help.

Thanks
Bill
