4.10's id say since you cna use it all the time.

I hear the 10 bolts don't last very long on sticky tires and the 6 speeds since its a weaker ger.

My 4.10s are holding up, I had them mikronited and am running a thunder racing girdle. I don't have very sticky tires though.
Car is fun to drive with the 4.10s. A lot of fun.

If I ever get my Racetronix fuel pump in and my nitrous situation situated, I'm sure I would tell you at that point to get both. But if you can get only one I would get the 4.10s.

4.10s will put an extra "pep" in your step. go with those, you will like gears.

u'd probably be faster with the 125 shot than with the 4.10s but 4.10s u can enjoy all the time.

id say 4.10's... mileage as stated earlier will go down, but shouldnt be that much. in my ls1 im at 2000RMP @ 80 ... 2600 @ 100 in 6th. You will just want to learn to shift around 2k, to help compensate for the loss for mileage.

I'd say the nitrous and save up for a 9 inch, 12 bolt, or S60. Getting gears for the 10 bolt is kind of a waste if you plan on changing the rear any time in the near future.
