Haha, I have 4.30s because my car winds out to 7k and lacks low end torque compared to a 5.0
With your "sissy" HCI combo, absolutely stick with 3.73s as you are not moving the power band up by the much. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
3.73s are a great street gear for a mild HCI like yours.

F it. Swap out the 3.73's for 5.13's and throw a 300 shot on it. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I would have t agree with sticking with the 3.73s. 4.10s are a bit much for a street car that will prob wind out out 5700-6000 rpm honestly. But if u get it on a dyno and it pulls some freak miracle with the rpm and you don't drive on the street much gear the hell out of it.

Save the money as a move to 410's won't make a huge dfference anyway "maybe a couple tenth's" so some drag radial's would be a better move. I see You have nitrous on Your sig are You still running it? I have an auto so can' really compare to Your situation but I have 373's and started running out of gear when I put the blower on so I put some taller tires on & problem solved so there is a possibilities to make adjustments with tire size also "just a thought".. If You are leaving the nitrous on then 373s will be perfect IMO, but unti You go to the track it's just a guessing game. Sorry if I rambled on . Definately run at the track before You make any decesion's!
