I know couple of guys with auto's and 4.10 gears . All have 28" tall tires and are crosing in forth gear.

Do you have any idea what kinda ET there running with that set up cause it's either that or some power mods like a boss manifold and and intake only thing I like about the gears and tire is that I can sleep at night knowing my warrantys there

If you have an auto and have a dealer install gears your warranty will be voided for your abs system and rear end.
My dealer told me this when I wanted 3.73s installed.

Why change the wheels at all, I did a 1.72 60' on stock tires with a 12.10 @ 115. I have 3.73's which is about as tall as you want to go. 3.73 with stock size tire will be a great combo and still be great as a daily driver or road trip car. 4:10 and you'll need to run a 28" tall all the time or your mpg on interstate runs is really gonna suck.

Before you change the gears, install a CAI/Tune combo and you will probably achieve your goal of low 12's on street tires.

Also, punctuation is your friend and makes reading your posts a lot easier.;-)
