will 410s last in my 10 bolt? or would 373's be the best way to go?

For driving around town, they will feel faster because the TQ is multiplied in each gear more, but you run out of gear much sooner in speed. So you have more TQ for less mph in each gear.
If I change gears, I'm only going with a 3.73, but never to the 4.10. I have a hard enough time with traction with the stock 3.42's, and that's with 275/40-17's.

Period.
Did I say he would be slower in the 1/4 mile? No.
So yes, I'll keep preaching, Thank you very much. Maybe you should read a little more carefully before getting on my case.
The more you mod for top end power, and raise the redline, the more gears become important. 4.10's and 3.73's can be a big advantage then. Remember, this guy is close to stock with a stock redline.
