Smile Need help picking gears

Hey everyone, I need opinions from anyone who's changed their rear end gears and raced with them. I have a 98 4.6 f150 with a tuner, exhaust, electric fans, and cold air intake. Underdrives are in the future as well as a pi head swap. What do yall think would be a good gear ratio for mostly racing with little street use. I have 20 inch wheels with some low profiles about two inches thick. Im looking at 4:10s but what do yall think would help my ET the most? Also does anyone have any idea what my truck should run now? Thanks for any help!

F150 has a tall overdrive; I'd go with 4.56 gears and no deeper, considering your 'some street use'.
