Stephen, not sure how much it would help but you can try mine with 4.10s in the next couple weeks when it comes out of storage.
I know mrods has 3.73 in his and ran NA for a while so he may be another to ask.
Ive learned do not fear the gear lol, when I put on the 26" track tires with 4.10s it feels even better.
Al, I know several people run the DOB kit with 4.10s. That said 3.73 is more popular on PD blown s197's (centrifugal guys love 4.10s), I would leave your 3.55 in a see what its like.
I hope to join the DOB club this year as well and will be leaving the 4.10s in but swapping to a 28" tall tire.
