I think for the track, the 3.73's will be better then the 42's. The 42's are gonna pull to around 90mph, give or take and put you in the lower part of third at the other end, may actually hurt your trap speed and time. It would be a good comparison to try out both though. I'm interested in what the outcome is. I'm up in the air about my 4.10's as well.

Both of you need to keep the 4.10 you have and try more tire at the track. Both of you are running 26" tires. That is what is killing you with the 4.10s.
John, with the 3.42, it is going to make you converter feel a lot looser around town compared to how it feels now. Randy is also right as they will put you shifting into third much later down the track and have you trapping at a lower rpm which may not be a good thing for you at all. So unless your main goal is to not turn so many rpm on the highway or you are planning a turbo, dont put in the 3.42.

there's no way that you are going to cross the traps in second on the spray unless your running a tall tire
