good as any of the others. I would have gotten them if Ford Racing made them. i wanted 4.10's, but not quite. but FoMoCo wasn't up to the task.

If you are serious about getting a supercharger I would get 3.55's or 3.73's. Aren't 4.10's a bit much with a supercharger? If your just going to do a cam I'd say go with 4.10's in a heart beat.

Im still thinking about putting a s/c on a stock block, the im deff getting the cams, i just might wait and build an engine then supercharge it!

I've got 4.10's with a procharger and I don't thinks its too much.
On the contrary I think it keeps it in the sweet spot !

4.10's or 3.73's or 3.90's .. don't matter. I prefer 3.73's but 4.10's make for better track times
