A 3.55 or 3.73 isn't going to help your e.t., compared to the 4.10s you used to have- it depends what's more important to you I guess, acceleration or lower r.p.m.s on the highway, a 3.73 is probably a good compromise, and you could always use a shorter profile tire at the drag-strip, effectively giving you a lower gear ratio. Just my.02.
