You can leave the 4.10s in but go with 3.73 if its a daily driver.

I agree, 3.73s would be better for a daily driven car, of course that depends on how much gear you can take before you go nuts, I know a guy with 4.56s in his daily driven Z/28

I had 4.10's while making 7lbs of boost....too much gear if ya ask me. I have 3.73's now and it's the perfect medium....traction and power.

You should run faster than 105mph with the blower. That's where you would be with 4.10's at 5,800rpm in 4th gear and street tires. If you want to run faster and not shift into 5th gear, just go to larger diameter tires for the track. A 27" drag tire would put you about 112mph.
