modular and 5.0's with gears??

Would the mod motor run smoother with 4.10's than a 5.0, because of the mod higher rpm capabilities? for daily use?

I run 4.10's in my daily driver and I love them. They are worlds better than the 3.73's I had. If you have a 5sp car, 3.73 might be best for a daily driver.

My friend has 4.10's in his STOCK 98GT automatic and it ran a 14.2 on drag radials. He has whooped many 5.0 5-speeds in our area. I would say the mod motors love lower gears!
