damn good times .. i say keep the 3.42 gear imo. .. its a great gear for street ... and you will just spin wayyy more with a 3.73 or 4.10 ... but thats just my opinion ... i know in cold weather you will have a 12.50 or better time slip .... hope my truck runs somewhere near your time when i get my stall in ...

ill be running a uh DR 24/7 
390/40/15 29.5" tall, 14" wide and a 17"
rim up front, but when i want to "cruise" for looks only ill have a set of 20x8.5" up front an 20x9.5" for the rear or maybe a 20x10 i dunno yet.
in that slip the other time is that Camaro SS that i ran from a 25 punch and put 2 trucks on it to 100. theres the proof it is a 13.1 car at 105+ but man she can Tree this shii outta me! lol.
the dude in the vette was VERY shocked. i told him im proud he whipped me, he said no you hung very well considering the size/weight of my truck. he asked if i had gears..nope, still 3:42s

but damn his truck is insanely fast.my 3:42s are nice, but honestly the truck pulled so much harder on those 28" DRs than it does on my 265/70/17s imho. i can feel the difference with just a tire swap. if i run 4:10s with that tire/or my 29.5" DR im sure i'll be happy and wont spin the tires tooo much. but it'll help me get into the powerband a lot faster than those 3:42s. like i said....if i hate the 4:10s itll get 3:73s...if i hate those ill go back to 3:42s. but for what it is man, ON 3:42s and a lil cooler weather i have a 12.9 truck....so i built what i wanted. no gear swap and i have a fast *** truck
i can do a few more things to help me, but honestly i dont have a whole lot of money tied up into this....i built the truck to be fun, descently quick, and to not let me down on a trip. this is my Family ride...and it serves it's purpose.
now skipperdaddy on the other hand has a FI 5.3 that will whip the SHII outta my truck, but he has the same problem i have....NO ONE wants to race him on the street
