4:10 question
There is absolutely no reason to go with 3.73's. You aren't turning anymore than about 1900rpms @ 60 with 4.10's in 6th, so it's perfect. I never regretted mine for a second.

DMNSPD, please chime in too, you seem to know a lot.
If you ever plan on upgrading to a large cam in the future you will not regret getting 4.10's. Makes up for that lost low down torque. Stay away from drag slicks with the 10 bolt though (unless you have the $$$ for a 12) lol

The car is also easier to drive with 4.10's, especially with a large cam and a harder grabbing clutch that alot of people use.
The 3.73's made a little difference and made my car more consistant at the track, but the 4.10's work much better for the powerband.

I have 4.11's now and I wish I went with 4.30's. My car is a daily driver and the only car I own so it gets driven all the time. 4.10 gears are fun and really easy to drive on the street. In my opinion 3.73 gears are not worth the money.
i just installed 4.11s in my 10 bolt and still have a lot of 1st gear, then i put my slicks on, went to the track and pulled a 1.59 60ft spraying out of the hole, and it still drives
I don't mean to hijack but is it possible to break your 10bolt while shifting hard on the street with 275 tires? This is the only reason i have been holding off. I don't want to break my assend!
