would you keep the 373s or do you think it would run better with 410s

If it was me and I already had 3.73s, I wouldn't step up. Oh wait.. I do have 3.73s..haha but in an auto.

Have you raced it at the track before? If so, what RPM are you crossing the line at?

so youde keep the 373s? basically my car has very little torque compared to the power, so my only thing was maybe to put 410s in it to make it more torquie? haha if thats a word?

I settled on 3.89 as a compromise between those two lol but going from a 3.73 to a 3.89 is not that much of a difference. What is the reason you're changing gears, just to change to a different ratio and try to improve torque? Honestly, your torque is probably low because of the big cam you have in there, just the nature of the beast.
