It really depends on each car and what your plans are. I am personally go 4.10s and if I ever get a blower see if I like them and if not I will just swap to a 3.73 at that time. And play with the RPM calculators and it will show you what you want!

If it is a daily driver and has a manual transmission, I'd steer clear of the 4.10s as you would have little to no first gear at all, which would not be ideal for the streets. That's my opinion on the subject matter, and the reasoning behind my own car having 3.73 gears installed later this month. But on the other hand, my uncle has 4.56 gears in his 02 gt and though I think he's crazy, he absolutely loves them. I simply must have a first gear that lasts more than 2 tenths of a second :dunno but that's just me. lol.
