Should I swap in 4.10's for my 3.73's- please read

Thanks for all the input guys. I just keep hearing that 4.10's make up for a "weak" motor, and I don't like that saying. I also don't want to install them and hate very minute of it either. I'm just nervous as to whether or not I'm going to hate to drive it with such steep gears. I wish I could find out what my MPH would be at 6000rpm's in 4th, that would help me decide I think too. I found out today that my cousin doesn't want any money for the gears so all I'll have to pay for is the new clutch pack for the rear and the installation of the gears and clutches. I think I will do it. Do you think it will slow me down with my current setup? Not that it really matters, but I'd like to know. Also- am I gonna be approaching the factory rev limiter with these gears in the 1/4? I'm hoping to be at or around 105+.

RJ_STANG- sorry man, my dad just bought the Holley Systemax kit for his 91GT and he wants my 3.73's to replace his 3.55's.
