Default 4.10's are they worth it???

I'm interested in 4.10 gears but want some input from everyone. My only fear would be having to shift into 5th if I ever ran NOS at the track.

that's the rumor 3.73's are a better suit with NOS.

I had 4.10's in my old car. 4.10s on motor were great but on the gas I would be well in to 5th with a 150 shot.

I needed 5th in the 1/4 when i had only bolt-ons. Now that i've got heads and cam, I haven't been to the track yet, but i'm sure i'll be well into 5th gear. When i get more money, I'll lose the 4.10s or switch to a taller tire.

Do you think it hurt your performance or your car shifting into 5th at the end of the track?

Depends on your tire size at the track and your rev limit. I use a 28" tire and have the rev limit at 7000. No problem running 130mph through the traps. This may not be practical with stock valve train and stock tire height (26").
