I am gonna post the video soon. It is kinda large though (3 mb). One thing I noticed in the video is the drop in rpm from 2-3rd gear (maybe it's just an artifact of the doppler effect, though).

I really have thought about 3.73s, but not 4.10s. Yeah, with MUCH traction, they'd get me some mean 60 ft times but I'm pretty sure they'll hurt my 1/4 mile time-- rpm would be way too high going through traps. I would've gotten 3.73s when I first put the rear end in, but it was the only car I had and where I live (kinda country area), everything is at LEAST 30 minutes away (except for gas stations). The drag strip is like 45-55 minutes away. 3.55s were as steep as I dared to go (esp since my job was an hr away). 3.73s may be in the future.
