depends on how fast you plan on going thru the traps. there are gear calculators ithat will help you on this. you have too get thru the traps in 4th gear.

as you are right now with nitrous you will still be ok with 4.10's

4.10's here, if you do a lot of high way driving then you might want to think about 3.73's.

also if you plan on not blowing your engine, then im sure your going to be buying a new fuel pump and injectors.. your gas milage will suck anyways..

You dont need new injectors with nitrous, pump wouldnt hurt though. I dont think 4.30's with a power adder would be a good idea.

Youll probably run out of gear with 4.30s and nitrous with the stock 4r70w. 4.10's is enough.

I concur, 4.10s. I drive 4.10s and still get 21mpg and my driving style is rather "spirited"
