With my recent purchase of Turbo kit and big fuel system upgrades, I've had it in the back of my mind that my 4:10s may be an issue. Do they gotta go? If so, what should I run? I was thinking 3:55s.

if you want to easily spin the tires in 4th gear at 100mph, then yes keep the 4.10's. lol. 3.55s would be my max gear on a turbo 4.6.

Switch to 3.27's. Turbo cars do not need steep gears.
