even with 3.73s it gets annoying because it revs too high for me on the highway...but take off is great

i have a 84 L69 with an auto

4.10s with a .7ish overdrive will cruise at about 3,000 RPM @ 80 mph. A bit high for long distance driving, but fine for short highway trips IMO.

I say go for it...I'll be adding 4.10's to mine this spring, as soon as I can afford to have the rear built.
