3.73 are typical if you are running boost, the many of the guys who race alot use it not because of the cruise RPM, but because the supercharger will make 1st gear as bit too steep and also 4.1's may not be tall enough in 4th gear to cross the traps on a 26" tire.

3.73 is a good choice on boost, which blower do you use?

Well, it sounds like you'll want 3.73's. However, Jimfitzgerald is running 4.10's with his supercharger. He also runs a 28in. tire on the rear at the track. Anyhow, his is a mid 10 sec. 1/4 mile car too.

BTW, I love cruising the Parkway. It only sucks when you get some obnoxious person in front of you who doesn't know how to drive.

4:10's for auto.

N/A autos usually run 4.10's for the street or maybe even 4.30's for the more dedicated racer.

Since you have a supercharger you will probably want to go with 3.73's. You could go with 4.10's, but unless you like to take your car to the track a lot they will probably be over kill with that kind of power.
