Gearing a vehicle properly requires more info than just street, strip, race. You have to know tire diameter, engine redline rpm ( peak power rpm), auto/stick and future intended mods! Real intended use is also important to avoid disappointment involved with inproper gearing!

I had 4.10's in my stock 10 bolt for probably 6 weeks, and let me tell ya, that was the funnest 6 weeks that car has seen in a long time! It was only a full bolt on car though, so it wont see anywhere the power youre making presently. At the moment, I run teh Moser in my sig, and with the listed mods, 4.10's would be problematic on the street for traciton, but would work WAY better at the track. The 3.73's are a good street gear, but don't quite have the transfer of torque that I want.

All in all, it depends on what you will be doing most.

I liked my 3.73s alot...I voted 4.10 since you are going to slicks...i'm def quicker out of the hole with the 4.10s consistently.

4.10's too much for a 6K rev limiter and a 150 shot of nos. 3.73's at mos if not stick with the 3.42's. Ask this question in the Nitrous section.

I've got 4.30's in my moser but my limiter is up to 7200. I drive my car everyday and no issues with them on the street. Hwy rpms are ~2K at 70mph. I think 4.10's would be ok in your application but nothing higher.

I just got my 4.10's installed today and so far I like the response. Doesnt seem to bog as much. Some of my friends got 3.73's and I just didn't think it was worth the money for a lil difference. Will I finish the 1/4 in high forth gear??

I think 4.56s or even 4.30s would be too much for a 150 shot.
I would go with 4.10s... maybe even 3.73s

I voted 4.10's. With a 27" tire you can get 118 in 4th gear at 6000RPM's, with a 28" tire you can get 122. Either way that trap speed is enough to get you deep into the 11's, if ya need more than that then you can always bump up the rev limiter for the the top of 4th for a few more MPH, IE: the rev limiter @6200 in the top of 4th would give you 126mph with 4.10's and 28" tire. You can probably get away with 4.30's as well, as long as you car can efficiently get the power to the ground but i would say with your setup you would run out of gear before the traps.
