Default 410/411 or 373's!?

I have an ecsb with 6.0 and 3k converter. I have 373's installed now but I am thinking of doin 410/411's. What are the pro's and con's of both and a little bit of feed back on trucks with both. Thanks

Do you have a 4l60 or 4l80 , I have a ecsb waiting for the 4l80 swap to put in my 4.10's to make up for first gear difference

What's the goal? Track truck, daily driver, or a little bit of both?

Wheels and/or tire sizes?

Also depends if you are planning on going F/I. If I wasn't planning on running a blower I'd do 4.10s. If you are then just beef up the 3.73s and call it a day or else you'll never catch traction.

My truck has 3.73's, and I am debating changing also. I am considering at least 4.30's. I went to the track the other day, and never got it out of 2nd gear. For some reason it kept revving, but I was going 111MPH at 7143 RPM's in 2nd gear. I am running the stock tires 275/55/20's.

I do not plan on going F/I. I plan on heads and cam maybe a little nitrous I already dont get traction at all on the street. It has a 2inch hanger so pinion shims may be needed?

I run a 224/230 cam on 114. I didn't think I was revving that high until I looked at the log. I didn't want to go much past 6800. Yeah, on the street I can spin them easily in first. My problem is 2nd gear just seems a little too high. I would also like another gear to get my times lower.
