Paul, I think with modded motors like ours the taller gears are fine. That's why I did 3.90's vs 4.10's. We have the power to pull those tall gears in 1st and 2nd. For the same reason if I added boost I would never do 3.90's or 4.10's. Don't need to. Shorter gears are a great equalizer when you are short on power. IMHO, the more power you have the less gear you need.

Dave, I have come to agree with much of your (and Dom's) opinion. I too am starting to lean toward the 3.90s as having favor between the 4.10 and 3.90 ratios. Fact is, I just LOVE that 2nd gear/90 mph roll-out...and the resulting look on a few ricer's and LS drivers' faces...priceless!
