You'll be fine with that hp

ALWAYS 4.10 unless you have twin turbo or something else that lets you take advantage of the lower rpms. otherwise you want to get the rpms up as quick as possible

you WILL cut more ET with 4.10's
you WILL NOT notice a difference in MPG
your rpma will be about 250 higher with the 4.4.10's than with 3.73's
you WILL NOT have to shift into 5th in the 1/4 mile
you WILL NOT tach 3000 doing 55, more like 3000 doing 75-80 based on tire size

dont fear the gear

Im just waiting to get everything installed at this point . Not worried much about hwy driving both my jobs are street commutes and anything thats going to help me get into the 13's with just pi cam/intake swap and good set of rubber . If 4.10 offer more joy to the driving experience than 3.73 im all for it snd im staying n/a maybe ported heads and comp cam later in the year
