My brother has 4.10's, and they're dope.

Just my 2 cents.

It all depends on what you are planning on doing with the car in the future.Also is the car an auto or a 5 speed?I have set up many a cars and would suggest a 3:73 if it is a 5 speed car which leaves room for a blower or nitrous in the evnet you decide on either later on down the road.A 4:10 for sure if it is an auto,it really wakes the AOD/slushbox up.

If you have no plans for a blower or nitrous and seriously dont care about gas milage then go with the 4:10's with the 5 speed....

If you need them installed let me know I can set it up for you....number is in sig

I've got 4.10s in a 5 speed, the gas mileage isnt really that different from when i had 3.73s. I'm also planning to spray later, so i may need a taller tire for the track.
But get the 4.10s, you'll like em.
