I don't drag or road race, and am no expert, but I think 3:73 gears are better suited to someone with a modded engine with a lot more than stock horsepower. Someone who tracks their Z or drag races. That is the buyer I probably should find. Jim

Accurate and correct!!!
DRM specified the 3.73 as the best for their modded motors.
I come out of first so quickly with the 3.73 as is, that I am likely not the best driver for a 4.10 setup in drag race mode, but I would bet the 4.10 would seem to always be in the sweet-spot regardless of gear while driving, especially in 5 and 6!
My 3.73 has whined from the day I first got it. Fortunately, the obnoxious to some but wonderful to me exhaust note drowns it out.
Good luck with the 4.10s, you are sure to enjoy them!
