Default What gears to use?

I have 4.57s now and they were great with my supercharger at 310rwhp but with by new turbo I am well over 400 and get a lot of wheel spin. Even with 18in 265/35s.

A GTA dragracer is suggesting I go with something around 3.70s.

Any ideas and does anybody make anything lower than 4.10s.

The only two ratios I have found on the internet are 3.909 not currently available and 3.636 that are very hard to find.

4.10's should be fine... but I'd consider getting some street legal drag radials.

What kind of 265/35s are you running? With some sticky tires and 4.10's, you should be fine.

Also, what suspension do you have?

I have the 4.57s but with only 325whp turbo set up and I am fine with 255 Michelin Pilot Sport 2.
To be honest, I would love to go back to stock, because I don't feel the need to have them any more, also auto-x is better on 4.1s since you can drive in 1st the whole time, but the fact that the 4.57s are 30% stronger than stock gives me a good sleep at night.
