will i regret stepping down from 4.10's to 3.73's?

[mts]

When i bought my cobra it had 4.10 gears installed. I've been thinking alot about stepping down to a 3.73 gear instead of the 4.10's. When i cross the 1/4 mile line at the strip i'm all but out of gear in 4th gear already.... and feel like when i bump up any higher in power i'll be shifting into 5th and actually losing some time. Which is why i am thinking that 3.73 is going to be the way to go. Advice? Recommendations?

I can't even imagine a terminator with gears. Its hard enough to get traction in first gear now with the 3.55's.

I run 3.73s with 26" tires on the street and 28" tires at the track.
For me it is ideal.

At 80mph rpms are ~2500 with the 26s.
Very streetable at highway speeds.

That's more than 15 miles from home. I don't think it's ever been that far away.
