My math (Moroso dream wheel) using 7500 w/4.56 says 7100 with 4.30 and 6750 with 4.10. Peak torque RPM, etc., might change those numbers some.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Usually, putting in taller gears results in a little extra converter slip, so you don’t always get the reduction in trap rpm the math would indicate.

How much converter slippages does your math show now? I swap gears on my old pump gas Duster from 3.73 ,3.91,4.10 and 4.30 and saw no real differences in the 1/4 mile performances It did spend a lot longer in high gear with the 3.73 I had the Mopar 2.77 low gear set in the 727 also I also ran a set of 315x60x15 ET Street Radials and then a set of 10.5x31x15 W M/T drag slicks on ten inch wide rims on the slicks, those bigger tires wouldn't fit in my car on 12 inch wide rims. The circumference between the two was around 6.0 inches and the car would cross the finish line at 7000 RPM on the radials and 6500 RPM on the taller 10.5x31x15W bias ply slicks

I ran 28 in tire on my Duster 4.88 in the 1/8th Perfect! 4.56 in the quarter--Perfect! but I was turning about 350- RPM less than you so....... I would not do the 4.10 route unless you plan on NOS then oh yea that will be perfect

Dream wheel indicates just a few hundred (if that) slippage in the lights. Converter must be really efficient. 60' is good for the MPH. Car should be in the 9s. Doesn't look like you're leaving a lot on the table.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I recently went from 4.56 to 4.10 with a 28. My car is slower, 124 MPH. In my case The motor was losing steam with the 4.56 and showing very little converter slip because of it. I changed a few things with the 4.10 setup, looser converter, and 727 to 904. The car picked up at every increment, execpt mph. My finish line RPM only changed 200 or so due to converter slip.
