Default What gears for my setup

Im wondering what gears to get with my 12 blt. I have a 02 Z 6 speed. I have the Tr224 on a 114 lsa, 4.10s in the 10 bolt and they are fine for that. But next month Im going to put it on the bottle. So Im going to get a 12blt as well. Would 4.10s be good or should I go with 3.73s on the bottle. Im thinking with 4.10s that Id have to shift into 5th and with the 3.73 I should have enough to stay in 4th. Or is there another gear ratio that would work better?

If your on the boarder you could always have at set of Rims & Tires with a slightly larger diameter, that will give you better traction too.
