What do you mean by "top end".

Top end as in highest mph possible

or

Top end as in 3rd gear charge at the end of the 1/4mile?

theres only 1 tooth different between the 3.73 and 4.10 GM gearing.
4.10=41-10
3.73=41-11

You might not even notice a SOTP difference. I went from 3.08's to 4.10's and it wasnt "nightand day crazy" like everyone said it would be. dropped 3-4 tenths in the 1/4 and lost 2 mph.

peace

If your turbo'd and especially if your turbo'd with nitrous I'd go with 3.73s without a doubt... I ditched my 4.10s when I did my turbo and have never looked back. It feels a ton better, it loads the turbo down low better than 4.10s would and pulls like crazy up top...
