So basically if you are willing to sacrifice some top speed for acceleration, you would want to go with a lower gear (higher numerically), and if you still want that top speed maybe a 3.56 or a 3.73 gear would be better.

One more question: what is the correlation between the gear ratio and the size of the ring gear in inches? Is 4.1 gear the only 9'' rear end? Does that mean the 3.73 gear is an 8.8'' rear end? Or are the two measurements interchangeable?

What rear end would you go with?

Thank you very much for your information, it really has helped a lot in me understanding how this works!
