I see you live Northward. With 4.11's in cooler temps, traction could be a serious problem, even on a stock car.
Mine hooks pretty decent now, but when the temps drop below ~65, I have to be careful. Below say ~50 degrees, I have to be real careful going into 2nd and 3rd!
Though as long as I'm aware of it, it's kinda fun.
First takes off real quick. 2nd is close to what first is on a stock geared car. 3rd is good for about 100mph, and 4th about 135-140.
My car has the Gears, DC Tune, Filters, PS2's, and Corsa track.
6th gear is much more useable on the highway now too. Can cruise at 60 in 6th without bogging the engine down.
I suppose a 3.73 would be decent as well. 4.11's just seem like too much for a car with this much Torque, IMO.
Did you use the stock differential? My local Dodge dealer told me if I have them install the gears it will void my powertrain warranty. I was thinking about going with a Quaiffe. Someone else found an alternative for about 1/2 the price thru Unitrax. I was debating between 3.33 & 3.55.

Yes - Stock Diff.
I spoke with Devin @ Unitrax (where I bought the Gears) about the stock Diff, and he said if I was really going to race the car the stock rear probably would not hold up. For the occasional trip down the 1/4 mile, he thought I'd be OK. So far so good, but honestly, my car only has 3,200 miles on it. Maybe half of them since the gear install.
Also, I didn't get them installed at a Dodge Dealership.
If/When it grenades, I'll probably purchase the entire center section w/ gears already installed. Hopefully much stronger than stock.
Gears are torque multipliers. With a car that has enough torque to counter-rotate the earth on its axis the most I usually suggest would be a set of 3.55's with no upgrade if you're going forced induction (unless you strengthen the rest of the drivetrain and run some seriously sticky tires).
4.11 's would be way too steep in my opinion. I had 3.73's in my Gen 1 and felt that was a bit steep - but it definitely felt a lot faster at low rpm's than my SRT with the stock 3.07's. As I am considering a supercharger or turbo in the future, I am staying stock for now - but if I change my mind - I would definitley install a set of 3.55's.
