I say go with the 4.10's. I just came back from a 250 mile trip about a month ago. I was doing 70mph the whole way down and saw 2500 rpm. I don't do any highway driving (except for the occasional trip every few months) so rpm's werent a big concern for me. I will tell you this...If you go with the 4.10's, PLEASE invest in some drag radials. I can launch on the street at 2500 rpm and slip the clutch with the tires only turning over once before they hook. The DR's really make a huge difference along with the gears. Whatever gear you go with, you'll love the difference
