A taller gear like 4.10s will give you more top end speed for the same amount of RPM than the 4.56.
My first car was a San Jose plant built 1970 Ford Mustang. 302cu in. displ. C4 trans. rebuilt for street racing and 3.10 differential gear. After I punched it over .030 and added a dyno matched camshaft to the intake and a beefier 4bbl carb, I could hit 150mph at 4600 RPM and still have almost 2000 RPM until redline. It was a dog out of the hole but would really move you down the road in a hurry when you gave her her head. Also, with that low of a gear number in the rear, I could wind it up to 50 MPH in L1, punch L2 and glue you to your seat and not hit D until 95-100 MPH.
