Would the 4:10 not be better for drag racing?

Im asking because I have two trucks with the exact same mods. TR220 112, 918's, Efans, Hooker LT's,ORY, Cutout, Magnafow cat ack (no cats) LSD, Drag Slicks, Ladder Bars, 3000TCI, CAI and bolth tuned by me. Bolth have almost identical HP and TQ. One is a 99ECSB and the other is a 04CC. The only differnce is the 99 has 3:73's and the 04 has 4:11's

The 99 best time is 13.2 at 98.x
The 04 best is 13.8 at 93.x

What gives? The only thing that stands out to me is the 99 runs the 1/4 in 1st and 2nd (3rd at or after the traps) While the 04 shifts into 3rd a few hundred feet atfer the 1/8th and falls on its face, But beats most 12 sec cars to the 1/8th

I really have no clue when it comes to gears I know the basics on how to install them etc... But for a strickly racing view does this sound right. Is a 3:90 a better choice?

TY
