Default 3.90's or 4.10's

My mods are down below. I have a M6, and I still have stock gears. Do you think switching to 3.90's or 4.10's is going to make a big difference in acceleration. Which would be good for dig racing and hwy racing?

By stock gears did you mean " stock gears in the stock rear " cause if you did , Your making way to much power for a 10 bolt w/ 4.10's. But to answer your question's yes it will accelerate faster but about hwy racing because I don't know what kind of speeds are you trying achieve.
