Default Gear with ATI

Hey guys what rear end gear is everybody running in their 6 speed cars that have a procharger? I plan on getting a D-1 soon and I run a 4.10 now with my cam and head package. I was thinking somewhere around a 3.73 and running a 26 inch tall tire. What do you guys think.

I'd keep your 4.10's.
M/T ET Streets 26x11.5x16 would be sweet!

You can always change to the 3.73's later if you don't like the 4.10's.

You won't have traction in the street, but the track will be awesome! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I've been thinking that too. If you do the math you are cutting it close with 3.73s. I'm wondering what gear to get when I eventually get a 12 bolt...

Maybe 3.90 with 28" tire?

Sort of my fear also, I'm turning 119 mph in the 1/4 now without the D-1.
