Gears 3:73 or 4:10 for D1SC ?

I'm currently running 3:73's with my 404 Iron Block and around 14psi on the
D1.I have my rev limiter around 6800 and 325-50-15 DR's.My ? is should I stay with the 3:73's being a stronger gear and already traction limited?Or would going to 4:10's be the way to go.I have a 6 speed so not to worried about gas mileage when cruising around or on the highway,

stay with 3.73's unless you just like burning gas faster.

If I was doing it from scratch again, I'd be looking at something like a 3.45 or even 3.23 rear ratio. Too easy to break loose with my 3.73's now, even with MT Drag Radials.

Another vote for 3.73's. I'll be changing my 4.11's out soon. Might have gone lower but with a 4-series carrier a thin cut 3.73 is as low as you can go.

3.80's and a short tire, might goto something like 3.90 or mabey 4.00. its damn hard on clutches to launch these full weight street cars when they have no gear. But thats just my opinion. If its spinin' let off the gas just a little

As you up the boost with the ProCharger, you might run out of gear in the 1/4 with your 8 inch tall tires with 4.10 gears. I know I did three years ago. I'd also stick with the 3.73 gears. Bob
