Am I due for a change of gears? I have your basic bolt-on car with a mild heads/cam package. Mods in Sig.. What ET difference would I notice with a 4:10 gear vs my stock 3:42?

Cam peaks about 6300 if that helps, and the cam was designed to move peak torque a bit higher in the rpm range as well. If it's just a tenth I won't worry much about it. 
I was thinking along the lines of .2-.3 and 2 mph or so (hoping).

What is the car going through the finish line at for rpm? The gear will enable you to go through the gears quicker, but also may over-rev the motor before the finish line depending on tire and such.
