4.10's are generally much better for n/a cars. If you are having trouble spinning now, wait until you put in 4.10's, LOL. Stick with the 3.55's until you resolve your traction issues.

witch gears!...they might fly away on a broom stick!! j/k
yeah, if you dont have good suspension, stay with what you have. But usually 3.73's are good all around for a 5 speed.

If you were n/a,Id say 3.73's,its seems to be a pretty stout gear for a 5spd.But with a blower Id say you have the perfect gear

4.10s are to much for track use if you have a supercharger. You will run out of gear in 4th gear and need to shift into 5th unless you want the tach buried when you cross the line. Stay w/ 3.55's there much better for Supercharged cars.
