Default 3.73's to 4.10's worth it?

ok so heres my problem . my goal is 12.80's or faster N/A

best ive got so far is 13.0000000000 @ 102.9999999999

thats with 1.4 tank. and pushing 22's up front. and 255-50-16 DR's in the back



i plan on gettin some 17" stockers for the front i know thats good for a little bit. my main concern is is it worth my time goin to 4.10's?

Personally I wouldnt spend the money going from 3.73 to 4.11s the money would be better off spent else where.
