transmission has a big role in that is it auto or stick? whats your power range ex.1800-5000rpm what do you plan to do with the car. if you go to 4.10's your rpm's will increase fuel mileage will go down might lose time in the quarter if it wont hook up to the track just spins

well sound like you got the plan layed out sorta similar to mine too lol
i got the auto so im going 4.10's my first gear isnt as low as the stick so im a dog out the hole but once it gets movin its ok.
with yourse i dunno i think 3.73's would work good. with slicks it might get traction with 4.10's? see what some of the other guys say

Being a 5.0L (going by your username) go with 3.73's unless you plan on doing a cam,heads,and intake that change where the engine rev's,this plays a big roll.
Now if you were a 4.6L,then 4.10's are the way to go.
