Michael,

I thought about just going with a more mild gear, initially 3.73's but the motor likes to RPM a bit more, and with as much racing as I do I thought 4.10's. Then figured split the difference plus with the 3.90's and 26" slicks ill trap at 6000rpm with a few more mph and factoring my converter slip, which is perfect. With the 3.90's my final drive is a 2.61:1 any how!

Be sure that you have a good drive shaft. When you change the gears your drive shaft is going to be spinning much faster and you may find that you have a vibration at highway speeds. If you do then it's your drive shaft flexing due to the higher RPMs.
