Default want higher gears....which one?

I'm kind of wanting to go with some 4.30 or 4.56 gears when I have my rear end re-built?

That will help get my heavy butt moving off the line, without getting a bigger converter that may require more tire (larger slick). and to get my dumbass from doing 140 down the highway.

Anyone have any experiences with either of these??

or should I just stay with the 4.10s?

on what track? 1/4 or 1/8th? if your trying to go for pure 1/4 mile, stop light to stop light and dont care about highway or gas mileage too much, the best performance would be 4:56, if its a little of both Id go with 4:10
