i would go with 3:73s for the follow:

3:73s were the performance option gear for the T5 trans. They work great with the low ratios of 1st and 2nd and still give you good milage in 5th.

In your other post you were talking about traction problems. 3:73 will add to your problems, but 4:10s would be even more of a problem.

Depending on your exhaust, 4:10 are going to push your RPMs up when cruising. I had headers and a flowmaster and the drone @ 75 MPH was too much for me on long hauls.
